Mine with 4 GB RAM defaulted to 2046/4092 as well.
I'm still thinking that this is normal behavior and not an error at all. If
Allan checks the system log, I'm betting it's an informational message
rather than a warning or error. (These are accompanied by a pop-up if
you're logged in). If not, Allan, please definitely post back to do some
troubleshooting.

Quote from Allan ' I just checked at the client and the minimum is 2046,
max is 4092 and the
currently allocated is 2046.'
If server has 3GB of RAM them something isn't right here.... I have asked
what does the server say as recommended? I am thinking it had originally a
lower amount of ram and has been increased but the PF hasn't ???
Alternatively faulty memory, as if 3GB installed the server should be
saying more than 2046 as minimum ?
If we increase the PF to minimum recomended (remembering 4096 limit),
could this be all that is rewuired to solve the virtual memory error ?

BTW with 3GB RAM in the machine I'd probably set the pagefile to 0 on the
OS partition, set to some arbitrary value on another drive (say 4GB),
restart, defrag the OS partition, and then set min/max on the OS
partition to the same value (4095).
or use one of the available tools to defrag the OS partition pagefile
after setting it to max.

I'm not sure whether pagedefrag also moves the paging file to the optimal
area, the outside of the disk. Of course, the 0 and recreate process DOES
NOT do this. The overall partition scheme and drive type (RAID array?)
must also be considered. It is my belief that if the heads are scooting
all over the disc to access other stuff anyway then the positioning of
the page file for optimal performance is debatable.

A client with SBS 2003 is receiving the message below on the server
display.
They have 3 Gb of RAM.
The server was installed about 6 months ago.
Although the SQL Server has been running since the first day, we only
actually started putting transactions thru about a month ago.
According to the client, the error message below seems to occur over the
weekend as it is on the server display on Monday morning.
The SQL server logs seem to be clean and I am not sure what to look for
in
the Event Viewers (or anywhere else).
Thank you in advance.
The message is:"
"Your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of
your virtual memory paging
file. During this process, memory requests for some applications may be
denied. For more information,
see Help."
