What is the max size of a page file on Windows 2000 Server and Advanced
Server. Is this changed in 2003 Server?

Just to add, irrespective of the physical RAM. Say for example 8 GB physical

Actually, I seem that System Paging File is limitedd to 4095 MB ... but you
can create one Paging file per volume ... then you can create a lot of paging
files ...

Correct on the size but you can create 1 page file per "partition". Not that you would want to since this means more than 1 pagefile on a single physical disk. But I've seen it done. And yes, I pointed it out.

Hi Mark-Allen!
Long time no see...
Actually, it is possible to create several paging files on one
volume/partition. This MS Knowledge Base article has instructions:

Hi Bjorn! Yes, it's good to be back on the forums again. Thanks.
Yes, I know the article but never really *thought* that anyone would really do this. It seems like something so complex when going through the Control Panel was much easier. Ok, CP just updates the Registry....
In fact, there are a few other articles about pagefiles and memory dumps which I found which were even new to me.
One has the maximum dump file being 2GB, ever. And another says that even if you move the dump file to another partition or disk, it will still be "created" on the first partition (normally C and *then* copied over the final destination.
Pagefiles are such simple things, yet MS has made their use and management seem like some sort of "magic bullet". Remember when the "optimum" setting was 11 + memory. Oh, gosh... those were the days.
Send me an email and let me know what you're doing.
best regards,
