Hi all
 Inherited environment :
 
 Windows 2003 SP1 Ent
 SQL 2000 Standard
 16 GB RAM
 
 BOOT INI Switches : /3GB /PAE
 
 I understand that SQL 2000 standard can only address > 2 GB and
 therefore the /3GB switch will only rob the OS of a GB of RAM without
 giving it to SQL as it can only use > 2GB
 
 We have an active X job invoked from a SQL job ran overnight which
 copies large CSVs (> 5GB) from one folder to another on the SQL
 server. This runs ok for a while (normally after a reboot) but
 intermittently comes back with "Not enough server storage is available
 to process this command"
 
 The files can then be copied over manually without problem and the
 rest of the job ran successfully
 
 Could this error be related to only having 1 GB available to the OS as
 its a file copy ?
 
 Would it be best to remove both the /3GB AND /PAE switches or just
 the /3GB switch to give the OS at least 2 GB to play with ?
 
 Thankyou in advance for your replies
 
 Cheers
 
 Paul
