Hi!

I am planning to remove my Windows 2000 Server SP4 box's pagefile from
system disk (drive c:) to different drive. Is it ok that I will do that?
Will there will be no effect on my server ? Btw, Im running AD(DC) on that.
My worry is if I remove the page file on drive c:, my server will crash.
Hope you could give me serious answers(I would expect that microsoft will
answer my question).

Click to expand...

If you right click on My Computer and select Properties

<system properties> opens

advanced tab

performance options button


virtual memory > change button

set your c: drive page file to a minimal 2mb or so and your d: drive to
at least 1.5 times your RAM then exit out of the applet correctly it
will ask you to reboot

do a reboot and the page file will be created on the D: drive

A Microsoft employee may or may not answer your question but remember this is NOT a Microsoft support venue.
For that you'll have to open a supprt request with them.

To answer your question , No your server won't crash. You won't be able to debug on it but you probably don't care
about that.
