@scottalanmiller was there supposed to be a comment?
Oh on my phone it said it failed to upload the first time.

You've had a few double posts today... including the Wendy's tweet.

How did I do that one twice? I only see it once here, and I definitely only attempted it once. Where is the second?

I was seeing it on this page and the last one, but when I look back, the first one is gone. Pagination glitch I guess.

That would be my guess in the Wendy's post case. THe other one must have uploaded hours ago when I got an error and I never saw it post because I reloaded the browser.

Need a shave

What exactly would the charge be for that?
-
So I'm investigating hard drive space issues on all of our servers and I noticed on every single inherited DC (whether it has a good amount of free space or not) the page file is exactly this down to the MB:
That seemed huge to me so I checked the VM's I spun up (Windows Server 2012 R2) and they are:
DC1
DC2
why such a huge disparity?
-
Pagefile sizes are dynamic.
-
@scottalanmiller based on memory usage, but why is the disoarity so big? All of these are DC's

This is one of the reasons I often check, and anything before Server 2012, I manually set the paging file size to be 1.5x the amount of RAM or 4GB max... Unless you have several thousand user accounts, a DC shouldn't need that much swap space.

So the OS is misjudging the amount of virtual memory required?

How much RAM is actually in your DC?
That is a definite possibility.
-
What is your DFS queue size? If that isn't replicating properly you could be hitting your DFS queue max instead of a page file max.

Do you have a reason to believe that?

It's a Windows Domain Controller... What could cause it to even need a 25GB paging file?

Heading home. Will follow up.

If a DC is paging, you have big issues.
