Haven't seen that one.  I know this isn't any help but I have changed
the page file to a different drive on and 08 box via the gui and it
worked.

 

So as you already know, it should work.

Subject: Windows 2008 - Page file

 

All,

 

    I've hit a road block.  I'm trying to set Windows 2008 (x64) to use
a page file on the D: drive. However, it just does not seem to want to
comply.

 

First, I used the built in GUI tools.  I set the C: drive to 800-1024,
and the D: drive to 34000.  I committed my settings with "Set" and
rebooted.

After reboot, C: was set to 800, but nothing was changed on D:.

 

I verified in the registry, and the settings are accurate. (Also in the
GUI still)

I've check drive permissions, but they seem to be in order.

 

So, I removed the page file on D: and I attempted to set it with wmic:

 

wmic.exe pagefileset create name="D:\pagefile.sys" 

wmic pagefileset where name="D:\\pagefile.sys" set
InitialSize=17000,MaximumSize=17000

 

Both commands came back successful. I rebooted.   Nothing on D:, but the
GUI and registry setting complement each other.

 

I removed the page file from C: and tried to set it on D: only.  After
rebooting windows reports that a temporary page file was created.  Sure
enough. On my C: drive is a page file that is 16G (the equivalent of
physical memory)

 

I've tried other drives that I attached as well.  Same situation.  

 

What is going on here?  I appreciate the help.

 

Thanks,

 

Jason
