843539 Update for Windows Small Business Server 2003: KB 843539
Microsoft has identified two issues that occur after Service Pack 1
for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 is installed on Microsoft Windows
Small Business Server 2003. These issues are:
When you log on to Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) or
Microsoft Outlook Mobile Access (OMA), you must include a
domain name when you enter a user name. For example, you must
enter domain\username instead of only username.

The monitoring tools in Windows Small Business Server repeatedly
send a critical alert regarding store.exe consuming memory.

Installing this update resolves these issues in the following manner:
When you log on to OWA or OMA, you no longer need to include a
domain name when you enter a user name.

The monitoring tools no longer send the critical alert.
Instead, the Performance Counter called “store.exe Private Bytes”
is disabled by default.

 

Why the "OT"? This is exactly on topic.

 

Way to go, David --- now, is it possible for Jeff to script this??????
