compstuff Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 ArtBio thanks for the reply but I really don't think thats the problem since WMI is fully functional... here's some further info:I have been using Rogues script for numerous installs but now on a machine with 4Gig of Ram it too fails unless I change the "2" value to a max of 1.33If I change your "2" value to 1.2 the script runs and changes the pagefile size. Since I don't write VBS all my attempts to correct this have failed but I'm wondering if regonizing a max page file value of 4 gig would be the answer... buy I'm guessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilox Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 There is a limitation in VBS that does not allow setting a pagefile over the 4GB mark. I am not sure of the reasoning behind this, but you are right that detecting a value over to 4096 and reducing down is the answer. If you require a pagefile of bigger than 4gb then you'll most likely need to manually set the settings in windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I'm not sure there would ever be a need for a paging file that large, unless you have more than 4GB of RAM and are worried about having the paging file size available for crash dump recovery.

deathcon1 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm getting error 800A0408 at script. How to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I wrote this awhile ago, and might work better depending on your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belivakov Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 wmic pagefileset where name="C:\\pagefile.sys" set InitialSize=2048,MaximumSize=2048This can be run from command line (RunOnceEx). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPerceniol Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 also curious about this. I've always had it this way, but I don't know if this is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd set as a fixed size, so it won't become fragmented, if you have 2Gb, leave at 4GB max. Minimum for you is 2048MB. Despite what some may say (no page file good/fast, etc), chrome likes pagefile. And yeah, I usually ride without it. But on my RAM sufficient machines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCyborg Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 My recipe is taking a look at page file peek usage after having ran one or multiple programs that consume a lot of memory, just think about what your most memory intensive workload looks like, then taking that value and rounding it up to the next gigabyte or half-gigabyte to get the appropriate fixed size to set. Process Hacker may be used to read the value (Tools->Pagefiles). Also a method for those that like to have fun with PowerShell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
