The Microsoft Exchange Analyzer Tool queries the Win32_NTLogEvent Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class to determine whether an Event 9665 error has been logged for MSExchangeIS within the last 24 hours.
Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 performs an optimal memory configuration check when the store process starts. If the memory settings are not optimal, you will see event 9665 in Event Viewer.
If the Exchange Analyzer finds that an Event 9665 has been logged in the past 24 hours, the Exchange Analyzer then reads the data field of the event to determine which of the possible flags from the table below is present in the event.
