Is it 100% safe to move the pagefile.sys file from c: to another drive on Windows Server 2008? We are getting low on C: space and need to move it off, but not if there is any risk. This is a production web server and (other than a quick reboot) downtime is not acceptable, as you can imagine :)

What you should actually do is move your pagefile to a completely different physical drive to split up the workload.

but confirm it with some windows admin experts
