Oh on my phone it said it failed to upload the first time. You've had a few double posts today... including the Wendy's tweet. How did I do that one twice? I only see it once here, and I definitely only attempted it once. Where is the second?

Pagination glitch I guess.

Pagination glitch I guess. That would be my guess in the Wendy's post case. THe other one must have uploaded hours ago when I got an error and I never saw it post because I reloaded the browser.

 Need a shave

 What exactly would the charge be for that? 
- 
 So I'm investigating hard drive space issues on all of our servers and I noticed on every single inherited DC (whether it has a good amount of free space or not) the page file is exactly this down to the MB:  That seemed huge to me so I checked the VM's I spun up (Windows Server 2012 R2) and they are: DC1 
  DC2 
  why such a huge disparity? 
- 
 Pagefile sizes are dynamic. 
- 
 @scottalanmiller based on memory usage, but why is the disoarity so big? All of these are DC's

  why such a huge disparity? This is one of the reasons I often check, and anything before Server 2012, I manually set the paging file size to be 1.5x the amount of RAM or 4GB max... Unless you have several thousand user accounts, a DC shouldn't need that much swap space.

That is a definite possibility. 
- 
 What is your DFS queue size? If that isn't replicating properly you could be hitting your DFS queue max instead of a page file max.

It's a Windows Domain Controller... What could cause it to even need a 25GB paging file?

 Heading home. Will follow up.
