Using VBScript. How to obtain the recomended paging file size?

Using VBScript. How to obtain the recomended paging file size that windows shows up in the virtual memory configuration.

I need to run a VBScript in some servers and obtain the recomended value highlighted.

Any reason why you do not leave it on system managed?
Rule of thumb is 1.5 x your total RAM, but this was probably more for when computers came with very little memory.

e.g.
8 GB of RAM = 12 GB for paging file.

As the first reply said why not let the system manage it.

Here is a good article that helps explain.

mmm.. it's because i have some servers in the environment that are alerting about low virtual memory. So, that's a clear indication that they needs more virtual memory, however, the disk space on C drive is limited and if the page file takes a lot of it then the system will crash. So, i was thinking to obtain all those "Recomended" values that Windows calcules and set the page file with it.
Do you have the ability to add additional physical memory?
No able to increment more RAM.

Probably because they are already set to a fixed value from system managed
so.. is there a way to obtain the recomended value highlighted in the attached picture?
