I'm a bit new to WINNT admin. I've got a space issue on a test server with a
MEMORY.DMP file that is 2 gigs. What is this file? Can I get rid of it? OR
move it? Do i need it for the box?

Thanks
 
the MEMORY.DMP file is generated with the server reboots from a bugcheck
(BSOD). When a server blue screen's, the information in memory is dumped
into a text file.

Yes they are safe to delete, unless you want to figure out how/why your
server BSOD.

Normal dumps are left in the %systemroot% directory unless they are user
application dumps in which they are located in the users profile.

Hope that help.
