changing Page File size

I'd like to be able to run a script to check on, and change if necessary, the
size of the page file. Does anyone have, or know of, where I can get such a
script? And which "version" is best? (Jscript, vbscript, wsh, etc.)

I'd like something quick and simple for when I service a PC, regardless of
whether or not I change the amount of memory in it.

Thanks in advance,

Tom

WMI might do it for you.

There's been a whole system created for monitoring Windows and making
changes using scripts (language of your choice).

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnanchor/ht
ml/anch_wmi.asp

Have a read of the two-part primer to see what it's all about.

The page file is defined as a WMI class..

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/
win32_pagefile.asp

but it looks like you'll only be able to discover the file size, not change
it.

you can use Win32_PageFileSetting to set the InitialSize and
MaximumSize
