James Yes, I have changed the setting for pagefile. But it resets to default after I capture image and make reservation.
I've also commented disable_pagefile() in Windows.pm (and restarted vcld), but it doesn't help. New image still has default pagefile setting. Is there another place in the code where I could stop VCL from changing pagefile settings?
