Hello all,
I have a SQL2000 installation with Windows2003 Enterprise and 4 GB of system
memory. SQL never uses more than 2GB of system memory. What is the correct
configuration of the 3GB and PAE switches in the boot.ini file?
Roy Love

Roy,
From the SQL BOL:
To enable Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server to
support a 3-GB virtual address space, you must add the /3gb parameter to the
boot.ini file. This allows user applications to address 3 GB of virtual
memory and reserves 1 GB of virtual memory for the operating system.

Correct Memory Configuration for 4GB/W2K3 Enterprise
Hello all,
I have a SQL2000 installation with Windows2003 Enterprise and 4 GB of system
memory. SQL never uses more than 2GB of system memory. What is the correct
configuration of the 3GB and PAE switches in the boot.ini file?

support a 3-GB virtual address space, you must add the /3gb parameter to the

Correct Memory Configuration for 4GB/W2K3 Enterprise
Hello all,
I have a SQL2000 installation with Windows2003 Enterprise and 4 GB of system
memory. SQL never uses more than 2GB of system memory. What is the correct
configuration of the 3GB and PAE switches in the boot.ini file?

Roy Love
SupportOnline.BIZRoy,
From the SQL BOL:
To enable Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server to
support a 3-GB virtual address space, you must add the /3gb parameter to the
boot.ini file. This allows user applications to address 3 GB of virtual
memory and reserves 1 GB of virtual memory for the operating system.

Copy SQL Users from a server to another
Hi,
We are using a SQL 2000 Std Server on a Windows 2000
Server. I just install a new Server running with Windows
2003 Standart and i installed SQL 2000 Std on it.
When i go into Enterprise Manager, On Security folder and
Logins tabs, i saw all the users that needs access to wich
DB etc.
I want to copy all this security information to my new SQL
Server... how did i do that?
thanks!Hi,

Really easier for me than using sp_ function.
But after i follow the instruction on this web site i got
an "Unspecified error" while running the task. But all my
users seems to have been copied...
Someone know why i get this error?
Thanks!
