I work with a hybrid of technologies, and environments. I work with XenApp, VMWare, Hyper-V, Windows Server 2008 R 2, Exchange 2010, Administration and Migration of systems etc. So, I now use my "Joe's Lab", to help me keep my document as much as I can, and share my experiences and basic "How To's". Feel free to post any questions or comments.

Incoming Mail Flow Stops
By Joe Piggee Sr.
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: Resource Manager
Event ID: 15007
Description: The Microsoft Exchange Transport service is rejecting message submissions because the service continues to consume more memory than the configured threshold. This may require that this service be restarted to continue normal operation.
Event Source: MSExchangeTransport
Event Category: Resource Manager
Event ID: 15004
Description:
Resource pressure increased from Previous Utilization Level to Current Utilization Level.
- Quick fix is to just restart your Transport service.
- Long term fix is to either disable Transport from monitoring or what I'd recommend is to give the Exchange server the necessary resources, and adjust the settings accordingly.
- Apply updates as directed by the Vendor
To Disable the Transport from Monitoring :
Modify the edgetransport.exe.config file using notepad. This can be found in c:\program files\microsoft\exchange server\v14\bin. Change the “EnableResourceMonitoring” from “True” to “False”, save and close the file, then restart the Microsoft Exchange Transport Service.
