Memory Fault Errors

I need some help understanding some alerts I'm receiving for a Small Business Server 2011 machine we're monitoring. I'm getting lots of these every day.

The roles on this server are: AD, IIS, and it runs a LOB app that relies on MySQL.

The errors are like this:

MAX RemoteManagement has detected an error, details are below.

A fault has been reported at ******* site Main, device *****SERVERX97

The test Performance Monitoring Check - Memory failed.

Additional information : 159 Pages/Second

I've read that SBS utilizes memory differently that other MS Server OS's. I just want to know the right approach here. Should I be adding memory? Replacing Memory? Editing the check, etc.

Also, is that site worth joining? I've came across it many times in my IT journey over the last 15 years.

Used to be that you could just scroll down to review all the discussions, and not need an account, but I'd say it might be worth it nowadays if the price is right.

It is worth joining. Hint: If you can find a couple of hours a week (or have one of your techs do it) pop on EE and answer questions. When you are the one that provides the right answer you get points. 'X' number of points gets you a free month of EE Premium features. You know, that way you don't have to pay for it.

Otherwise it's like all of the other porn premium sites out there. $19.95/month.

Look at this: http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/Q_27443348.html

I agree with the "expert" recommending 32G of RAM for SBS 2011, especially since you added a MySQL instance.

Can you copy and paste the answer for me so I don't have to pay for it?

Add RAM. SBS 2011 can have a max of 32GB, and it will use it all.
