Guest sachin Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 I have windows server 2003. I am running an application which utilises temp folder. When the size of data of application excees 3.8 GB in temp folder it fails.Hence I want to incease size of temp folder. Is there any way by which I can change the size of temp folder under C:\DOCUME~1\<user directory>\LOCALS~1\Temp. Thanks in advance

I suspect it's FAT32 in your case. Convert it to NTFS to resolve your problem. Servers should not have FAT32 partitions anyway - it's a legacy file system.
Guest sachin Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Re: How to increase Temp folder size on windows server 2003 My file system is already NTFS. I have 9 GB free on C:. Total volume size is 20GB.

Guest Pegasus \(MVP\) Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 Re: How to increase Temp folder size on windows server 2003 Open a Command Prompt and type this command to create a 6 GByte file on the fly: fsutil file createnew "%temp%\big.bin" 6000000000 Report the error message you see if the command does not work. If it works then your claim that the temp directory cannot take large files is incorrect. Remember to delete big.bin when finished!
