What type of memory optimization change could you do for exchange 2003?..

Answer / sri

/3GB is applied to machines which have over 1GB of Physical
memory .Its is not recommended for Exchange servers running
DC .Like SBS , adding /3GB switch to servers running DC &
exchange might cause the server not to reboot .

Apart from this we can add /userva switch along with /3GB.

/userva switch will optimize memory & performance on the
exchange server
