I'm already restarting other services every 2 hours due to complaints that e-mails aren't being sent occasionally. Restarting sends all pending mail. I'm letting SQL Server grab as much memory as possible this weekend. I want to see how close to 2 GB it will get. :) I still would like to put the database on a separate server.

[Code] NET STOP SQLSERVERAGENT NET STOP MSSQLSERVER NET START MSSQLSERVER NET START SQLSERVERAGENT [/Code] The code above in a batch file and linked to a Scheduled Task is all you need to restart it as often as you want. The only downside is while it's restarting all connections to it are lost and denied. Most often this is only for 15 seconds or so.
