Page File Settings in server 2008

Can someone please clarify the page file settings on server 2008 for me?

I'm not sure to leave it on system managed or manually set it.

Also, on systems with large amounts of memory, i.e. 128Gb, do we need one at
all?I've seen references to anything over 50Gb is not necessary.

Anyway, just looking for some ideas/thoughts.

Thanks

 

Hello Stephan,

The pagefile is used when the server crashes, to have the dump file so it
should exist one.

Check this article's for determining and configuration, also applies to 2008:
