not enough server storage space

Using 2003. I'm trying to copy a file from one server to another by dragging
and dropping. After running for a couple of hours, I'm getting a "not enough
server storage is available to process this command."

I have 400G of available space and I'm trying to copy a 127G file. I tried
copying a small file to be sure that permissions weren't an issue and that
worked. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks,

I'm assuming that you are trying to copy an exchange mailbox db. The problem
(at least for me when I tried) is that I was copying from an exchange server
with a /3GB switch in the boot.ini. I was trying to copy so I can perform an
offline defrag. If your doing the same thing, almost everything you will try
will return the same error (xcopy, robocopy, etc).

You can address this two ways. Remove the /3GB switch and reboot or use
ESEFILE.EXE with the /C switch.

The problem is with the /3GB switch system re-allocates 1GB of ram normally
used for system related processes (copy/past etc) for applications.

Hope that helps.

What I'm trying to do has nothing to do with Exchange. I'm trying to copy a
SQL Server backup file. Neither server uses the 3GB switch.

Thanks,

You should be able to use esefile to copy the file if you want. It requires
a couple .dll's to be registered. It available on the exchange CD but if you
want I can send you the .exe and the .dll's.

Can I take you up on your offer to send me the exe and dll's? You can send
them to (E-Mail Removed). Thanks,
