Thank you for the responses. I'm just trying to keep an aging server alive while I migrate to Exchange 2010. I'll leave well enough alone and just do some aggressive directory maintenance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Levicki " < andrew @ levicki .me. uk > To: "MS-Exchange Admin Issues" < exchangelist @ lyris .sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 7:46:34 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: Page File move
Hi Steve, You haven't quite provided enough information for us to say whether it's a good idea for you to do this (e.g. your physical and logical disk setup and also what roles the Exchange server has), but I can tell you that you will definitely have to reboot if you intend to move the pagefile from the system partition to another partition. Further, if you set the pagefile on the system partition to less than the amount of system RAM, Windows will not be able to write a dump file in the event of a BSOD , but you may decide this is no big deal. See this TechNet page on performance tuning Exchange 2003, which can help you further, based on what roles this server has. http :// technet . microsoft .com/en-us/library/bb124129( EXCHG .65). aspx Enjoy!

Can I safely move the page file from root to either the log or database drive? If so is one better than the other and will the server need a reboot? Thanks.
