I have a customer running SBS2008 on a Dell Poweredge T100 server with 8GB
RAM.

On startup, the server shows that around 6GB RAM is used, and rapidly grows
to 8GB. In addition, the C: drive (allocated for the OS as per the Microsoft
implementation guidelines) rapidly fills up.

Any ideas? One problem with the Poweredge is that 8 GB RAM is its stated
maximum memory.

Thanks.

For the memory, this solution should help:

Many thanks for these, I've passed them on to my customer.
