I have also heard the min = max theory for page files, and I would never disagree with anyone who wanted to do it that way (I generally do). I've heard some good theories for and against, so I usually chalk that one up to personal preference.
I would agree with Tony's recommendation (if nothing else is on the box). I generally add in an extra "buffer" to insure that Exchange has all the page file that it wants. The primary mistake that I see most people make (with page file) is to go with the "standard" page file for NT servers, and I have seen many cases where this just not enough for Exchange.

Not that you are wrong. I've also heard it recommended that you set the minimum equal to the maximum page file size to reduce chances for fragmentation.

RAM + 12 + 200 = min (assuming nothing else on the box and it is a member server) Max should be 1.5 - 2.0 times the min....

What else do you have running on this machine? My first thought would be to confirm the page file size. The "standard" page file for NT Server is not enough for Exchange. I can't remember right off the text of the 1160 and 1025 events, so sharing those might help as well.

We ran optimizer to set memory usage to 0MB memory. Also I have checked the registry key equal to 0 in decimal PagedPoolQuota NonpagedPoolQuota Have you ever experienced this problem? I am thinking on apply SP4...what do you think?
