- Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
SYMPTOMS
In a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 clustered environment, you may notice that the Exchange services stop on the active node after the active node has been running for a while. To restart the Exchange services, you must fail over the active node and then restart the computer. If you monitor the active node, you notice a continuous increase in memory usage when this problem occurs.
This problem occurs if you configure Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) for Microsoft Outlook Web Access on the virtual server on the active node.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because a code procedure does not release memory after it is finished when SSL is configured.
