How to set VIRTUAL MEMORY page file size as system managed size?

[Kingskawn]

Hi guys,

I want to set virtual memory page file size option as "system managed size" through whatever script.

I have WIM images (made with SCCM) and already installed XP machines that have pagefile set to 2086mb and I want it to set to "System Managed Size".

Is this possible?

I already found something but only works for the current user:

@echo off

attrib -H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT"
copy "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT.BAK"
attrib +H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT"
attrib +H "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT.BAK"

REG LOAD HKEY_USERS.Default_User "%SYSTEMDRIVE%Documents and SettingsDefault UserNTUSER.DAT"
REGEDIT /S regional_uk.reg
REG UNLOAD HKEY_USERS.Default_User

EXIT

It comes from http://www.msfn.org/board/applying-current...ers-t16626.html

What it is supposed to do is copying all registry to default user which is the base user everybody begins with it.

And the "regional_uk.reg" in the same folder is this;

This is a regtweak to DISABLE the pagefile:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"WriteWatch"=dword:00000001

So you got to setup a PC with your wanted settings, export this settings

and import this regfile to the other machines - should work.

That is to set it to 'no paging file' but I want it to set System Managed. I'll try to extract it from registry when I set it to system managed manually

Set your template machine to "System Managed", and then export the "Paging Files" value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management - this will contain the "System Managed" setting as a hex blob. There's no API or script to set the system managed size, at least not one that's public. I only know of ways to set the paging file size min and max via WMI and powershell.

That`s exactly what I said before.
