This is a production server though. So there's no need to make any registry changes to point the dump file on another drive ?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a server running 2008 SP2 and is a virtual machine (VMware) that has low disk space on the C: drive (OS). &nbsp;Getting additional space allocated is not an option. &nbsp;10GB are being taken up by the pagefile. &nbsp;I'd like to move the pagefile to the D: drive which has plenty of free space and can be expanded as needed. &nbsp;Both the C &amp;&nbsp;D drives are VMDK drives.<br />
<br />
Should i do this? &nbsp;what are the positive and negative ramifications of doing this? &nbsp;I know how to move the pagefile to another drive. &nbsp;If i do move it, should i leave it as system managed on the D: drive?<br />
<br />
I read a lot about the dump file for BSOD. &nbsp;If i want to capture this what should i do? <br />
<br />
Any input would be greatfully appreciated.
