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.

version 4.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0. For information on
