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, 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 the amount of
memory in the server. For additional information about creating page files, refer to the Help file, which
can be accessed by clicking Start and selecting Help and Support.
