On a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows
Vista Service pack 1 (SP1), assume that you use a Windows Management
Instrumentation (WMI) call to set the
AutomaticManagedPagefile property of the
Win32_ComputerSystem class to
False. For example, to do this, you run
the following command:
wmic computersystem set
AutomaticManagedPagefile=False
In this scenario, the system unexpectedly creates page files on
all local drives. If you use the
System item in Control Panel to change the pagefile size,
this issue does not occur. Instead, a pagefile is created only on the system
drive. For more information about this method, see the "More information" section.
