During the build we didn't se the page file size.

By default pagefile size is 96 GB.

Is there any recomendation for setting up page file size?

It's a little hard to advise on that because there are so many interacting variables. Since you have a huge amount of RAM memory, maybe you don't need any paging space. :>).   I think something like 1-2 times your ram is a common recommendation.

Also, you might want to consider cross-posting this in a Windows Server forum.
