  Hello All,

  SQL Server 2000 SP4. My master database file is over 1 gigabyte. This seems excessive. I am trying to create some additional disk space. Is this size normal? Can anything be archived or purged?

  Thanks

  I found the problem. It looks like user tables were being created in the master database accounting for the large size of master.
