Chris an Kevin:
Thanks for helping me out. I appreciate all your knowledgeable =
suggestions and solutions. My server has 60 GB of disk space and 1 GB of =
Ram. I guess is time to duplicate my ram to 2 GB. Should I ignore the =
health monitor warning until I upgrade my server ram to 2 GB? Things are =
fine as today.

Thank you so much guys,=20

Not sure you can see about resources, and it really doesn;t =
matter. As you=20
indicated, if everything is running fine, and nobody's complaining =
- why fix=20
something that's not broken?
As to the size of your pagefile, what Dave said is the usual =
response - 1.5=20
times your physical memory. You don't indicate how much memory =
your server=20
has. But let's assume it's 2gb - (which would be what you should =
be runnning=20
with SQL and Exchange). In that case, your page file size should =
be set to=20
3gb (2 x 1.5).
