Re: SBS W2K3 Changing Page File location



Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am glad to know the information is helpful.

I'd like to make a summary for this post.

Q: After changing the virtual memory for disk C to D, can I delete
c:\pagefile.sys file?

A: Yes, you can delete the unused page file on drive C. In addition, you
can take the steps in following articles to get more space on drive C.

For future postings, I would like to list the following information as a
guideline when submitting new posts in the future. This information will
help us to understand the issue and situation more quickly. Thank you!

1. Has the server/client/product ever worked?
2. If so, what changed?
3. What service packs and updates were applied?
4. What are the steps to reproduce the problem?
5. Does it happen the same way on any other systems?
6. Please provide the exact error message with any screenshots, if possible.

If you need any assistance in the future, please feel free to post in our
newsgroup.

Best regards,
