How do I set the size of the pagefile from the command line?
8:58 AM
In order to set the pagefile size programically or from the command
line you can use the builtin VBscript included with Windows located at:
C:\windows\system32\pagefileconfig.vbs
This will allow you to change the pagefile settings via script or from the command line manually. You can utilize the attached script on this page which is also listed below to modify your server's settings:
C:\windows\system32\pagefileconfig.vbs
This will allow you to change the pagefile settings via script or from the command line manually. You can utilize the attached script on this page which is also listed below to modify your server's settings:
@echo offREM Syntax for the "pagefileconfig.vbs file is as follows:REM pagefileconfig.vbs /create [/s Computer [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] {[/i InitialPageFileSize]|[/m MaximumPageFileSize]} /vo {VolumeLetter|*} [/vo {VolumeLetter2|*} [...]]REM pagefileconfig.vbs /change [/s Computer [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] {[/i InitialPageFileSize]|[/m MaximumPageFileSize]} /vo {VolumeLetter|*} [/vo {VolumeLetter2|*} [...]]REM pagefileconfig.vbs /delete [/s Computer [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] /vo {VolumeLetter|*} [/vo {VolumeLetter2|*} [...]]REM pagefileconfig.vbs /query [/s Computer [/u Domain\User [/p Password]]] [/fo {TABLE|LIST|CSV}]clsecho Setting up Swap file on D: drive ...echo (Press CTRL+C to cancel this operation if needed!!!)echo.cscript //nologo c:\windows\system32\pagefileconfig.vbs /change /i %1 /m %1 /vo d:echo.echo ========================================================echo.pause |
NOTE
The script above creates a new swapfile based on what you pass it
from the command line. The snytax for this script assuming that this is
embedded in a batch script is as follows:
- c:\configure_pagefile.cmd SIZE (where SIZE is the size of the pagefile you want in MB's)
