RE: [ActiveDir] PAGE file

Title: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange 2003 Question

I'd leave the page files on the OS drives in both cases.   Keep in mind that once the system and whatever apps are running, the OS drive really won't get hit for anything.   Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.

From what I have read, it seems like when you put a page file on another disk, you actually have 2 page files then (one on the OS drive, and one on the other drive you specifiy). Is this right?
