    The SQL Bits tradition is to bag pack Wednesday evening, then drink, and eat, and drink some more!

    Pretty much, yes.

  • RE: Max server Memory

    0 is fine for min server memory.

    As for locked pages... https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/great-sql-server-debates-lock-pages-in-memory/

    p.s. Don't use Task manager to check SQL Server's memory.
