Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange problem where before my eyes the C:/ keeps losing space or gaining space I havae never seen anything like this? Please if anyone can help it would be much appreciated! Cheers,

I'd find out which IIS application pool is using that much memory. appcmd is your friend. "appcmd list wps" will let you see what app pool each worker process belongs to. Here you see the worker process with Process ID 9180 uses 786,596 KB of RAM, so see which app pool matches it, and from there which site/application is causing the trouble (IIS mgr is also very helpful; powershell is pretty powerful too -- just "Import-Module webadministration" first). I would also look for virus protection that doesn't use anywhere near that much resources too (seriously, this is amazing) Thanks - How do i do the first part i tried CMD and also run but didn't work?????? I can log into IIS Manager and can see the Worker Processes and the application pools etc, but cant extract the data Im using Team Viewer and cant print screen What AV solution would you use in a server environment?

so what are you thinking where do we go from here?

First of all, I would see what process uses the RAM (task manager works, but process explorer is better) Some programs are actually meant to basically use all the available memory to speed things up such as Exchange, and that is part of SBS (not sure how it's tuned by default on SBS 2008 though) If you post a screenshot of process explorer (or task manager), then we'll be able to tell what's going on instead of just guessing. Hey thanks for the prompt response I noticed that W3Wp.exe IIS worker one instance is using almost 800meg and there are another 5 or so as well. Hope that helps ) Procexp.txt

Hi all, Newbie here, Just wondering if someone could help me with diagnosing a SBS Server with 8gig of RAM that is using a lot of memory please note that there are only 4 users????? Can you please let me know what you need or would like me to upload so we can better look at this?
