Nothing bad. A given work-load will consume a given amount of page file space.
However, if you have applications that consume a large amount of pageable memory, having a larger page file will allow you to load more of them. That does not indicate, however, that performance would be acceptable. Regards, Michael B.

What would go wrong if the page file was larger than 1.5 times memory? Ex....4gig pagefile for 2gb memory. Todd -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

In most place, we read that the pagefile of a Windows server should be at least 1.5 X RAM. However, latest version of ExBPA tool gives error in such a case and tell us to make pagefile only 1.05 X RAM. Should we reduce the file size on Exchange server to only 1.05 X RAM? Thanks.
