Todd,
I cannot say what will go wrong, but ExBPA tool gives error that pagefile is
too large. We could get rid of this error only after making the pagefile
1.05 x RAM. Management wanted an ExBPA report without such errors showing,
so we decided to do this though it is contrary to our understanding of what
is optimum size of a pagefile.
By the way, on our front end Exchange 2003 (on Windows 2003 with 2 GB RAM),
we get Event ID 9665 warning if we don't use /3GB and /USERVA=3030 switches
in boot.ini -- and when we do use these switches, ExBPA and/or ExPTA
complain that /3GB should not be used on a front-end server. Looks like
various Exchange teams of Microsoft are not talking to each other.

What would go wrong if the page file was larger than 1.5 times memory?
Ex....4gig pagefile for 2gb memory.

1.5 is the right number. Can you tell me the rule number link, so I can
have it fixed?

In most place, we read that the pagefile of a Windows server should be
at least 1.5 X RAM. However, latest version of ExBPA tool gives error in
such a case and tell us to make pagefile only 1.05 X RAM.
Should we reduce the file size on Exchange server to only 1.05 X RAM?
Thanks.
