Creating an Additional Page File

When additional memory or software applications are installed on the server, errors
can occur in the event log, indicating that the C drive is nearing capacity. To solve
this problem, you can either move applications located on the C drive to another
partition or create a page file. Creating the page file on a separate partition to support
the amount of memory in the server is the most efficient solution. After an additional
page file has been created, set the page file on the boot partition to one times the
amount of memory. For additional information on creating page files, refer to
the “Paging File” section of the Help file, which can be accessed by clicking
Start>Help.
