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, if your operating system is Microsoft Windows
Small Business Server 2011 Standard/Microsoft Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials.
If your operating system is Microsoft Windows 2012 Essentials, press the Windows key from the keyboard,
then right-click anywhere in the Start page, and then select All Apps>Windows System>Help and Support.
