Configure the System Page-File Settings
You can optimize the virtual memory on the Windows Server computers on which your View Connection
Server instances are installed by changing the system page-file settings.
When Windows Server is installed, Windows calculates an initial and maximum page-file size based on the
physical memory installed on the computer. These default settings remain fixed even after you restart the
computer.
If the Windows Server computer is a virtual machine, you can change the memory size through vCenter Server.
However, if Windows uses the default setting, the system page-file size does not adjust to the new memory
size.
Procedure
1 On the Windows Server computer on which View Connection Server is installed, navigate to the Virtual
Memory dialog box.
By default, Custom size is selected. An initial and maximum page-file size appear.
2 Click System managed size.
Windows continually recalculates the system page-file size based on current memory use and available
memory.
