We have a W2008 R2 standard edition server, 64 bit with 16GB memory. SQL Server 2008 R2, details:
Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio10.50.2500.0
Microsoft Analysis Services Client Tools10.50.2500.0
Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC)6.1.7601.17514
Microsoft MSXML 3.0 6.0
Microsoft Internet Explorer9.0.8112.16421
Microsoft .NET Framework2.0.50727.5466
Operating System6.1.7601
Recently the server has been freezing and the only way to bring it back up is to reboot.
Reading some articles it seems the reason could be SQL is set to unlimited usage of memory. So i would like to set a limit and wondered what the recommendation would be to set it at?
TO set it i would right click the server name in Sql management studio - properties - Memory - Maximum server memory (in MB).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
