SYMPTOMS

If you set the initial and maximum pagefile size to zero and restart the server, you are not presented with a pop-up message at startup. This message should state:

   Limited Virtual Memory

   Your system is running without a properly sized paging file. Please use
   the virtual memory option of the System applet in the Control Panel to
   create a paging file, or to increase the initial size of your paging
   file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition on Alpha platforms.
