not going to speak too soon but I moved the configuration and content
databases for my SharePoint sites over to a dedicated SQL server and
reconfigured SharePoint accordingly in server farm mode so I could remove
the local instance of MSDE which may have been using way too many resources.
Are there known issues with MSDE memory leaks?

Makes sense. I was wondering at your listing XWall but not Exchange.
So this box, so to speak, straddles the wall to the outside, at least with
web and mail ? I am sort of in the same boat as Steve, trying to get a
glimpse with perf metrics and checking hardware health via Open Manage
diagnostics and baseboard logs (I know you mentioned a 2 hr diag session,
but you also said that back then it was not so frequent).

XWall is my mail relay, handles all SPAM filtering far better than
Exchange does. I've been running XWall for 3 years on this system and
have never had a problem. There has been no abnormal SMTP
traffic/behavior and the 3.34 version was running fine for just over 6
months before I started having this problem. I keep pretty good change
logs and there have been no changes made to the system that correlate to
this behavior nor does it pattern normal updates distributed from my WSUS
server.

What happens if you take XWall out of the mixture ?
(why XWall at all ? why at 3.34 instead of 3.36 ?)

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2550 server running Windows 2003 SP1 and have
strange behavior occurring every 7-14 days. The server will always
respond to a ping however when the problems start, I notice services
start becoming choppy in response and eventually do not respond at
all....when it gets into this state, I cannot access the system with RDP
and the actual system console loses the Ctrl-Alt-Del screen which was
displayed prior to the trouble starting.
The server runs the following apps/services
IIS 6.0
Windows SharePoint Services
MSDE for SharePoint
XWall 3.34
The server is protected by firewall appliances and the event logs show
no signs of any trouble on the system at anytime. A straight 2 hour
Dell hardware diag run reflected no problems on the system whatsoever.
Any idea what direction I can take to resolve the issue? I'm convinced
it is software and maybe even specifically with the lsass engine but
can't confirm without any event entries to go on. This doesn't happen
frequently though it does consistently happen. The server has 3GB of
RAM and everytime I look in on it, it has more than half of the
physical RAM available with normal paging.
I'm stumped....I'll call PSS if I have to but the problem is I can't
force the problem to occur making it more difficult to troubleshoot.
