The CREATE DATABASE statement failed. The primary file must be at least 4 MB to accommodate a copy of the model database.

I believe it means the size of Model Db is now 4 mb in Denali.

Thanks

CREATE DATABASE failed. Primary file must be at least 3 MB to accommodate a copy of the model database.

So, how do reduce the primary file size of model database from 3 mb to 2mb?
