We have a server with 1gb ram with sql server express 2008 and iis 7 and windows server datacenter. our application is not terribly intensive, some queries with simple views.

When we put 10 users on, the system grinded to a halt and iis crashed.

The server is 2.27 ghz / 1 mb ram / 20 gb hard drive.

We had no limit on SQL server memory usage, so we put a 250 mb limit on it.

So my questions are

1. Would the fact that we had no limit on the sql server memory cause this problem?
2. Would putting a limit on sql server memory correct this issue?
3. Is there something else we can do to monitor or correct this issue?

1. Both SQL Server and IIS are memory hogs. For this reason, they should not be on the same server.
2. It's hard to answer that question as the root cause of IIS crashing has not been determined.
3. Separate out SQL and IIS onto separate servers.
