[This topic is intended to address a specific issue called out by the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool. You should apply it only to systems that have had the Exchange Server Analyzer Tool run against them and are experiencing that specific issue. The Exchange Server Analyzer Tool, available as a free download, remotely collects configuration data from each server in the topology and automatically analyzes the data. The resulting report details important configuration issues, potential problems, and nondefault product settings. By following these recommendations, you can achieve better performance, scalability, reliability, and uptime.

During the installation of Microsoft Exchange Server, the Microsoft Exchange Analyzer Tool determines whether a third-party display driver is installed. When a third-party display driver is discovered, Exchange Analyzer displays the following message:

 

A third-party display driver '{9}' is installed on server {2}. This may cause excessive nonpaged pool memory usage on the server. It is recommended to use the standard VGA driver provided by Windows to save nonpaged pool memory.

A non-standard VGA driver may consume lots of nonpaged pool memory. If Exchange Analyzer detects that the nonpaged pool memory is low or critical, you are prompted to remove the third-party driver and to use the Standard VGA driver that is provided by Windows. We recommend that you remove any third-party graphics drivers along with any associated Graphics Accelerator drivers, and use the default standard VGA driver that is provided by Windows.
