SYMPTOMS
When you are running Microsoft Exchange Server, the system attendant may use an unusually large amount of memory, causing the Windows swap file to increase in size. This problem typically occurs in organizations that contain a large number of sites and is not related to the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC).



CAUSE
In organizations that contain a large number of sites, the routing information database (RID) calculations performed by the system attendant can use large amounts of memory over an extended period of time.
