[chef] Re: Re: Converting batch script to chef

What you've suggested will work, and there's nothing technically 'wrong' with doing it that way. However, in my opinion it is something to avoid if better options exist. In this case, I would probably look into finding and setting the data you want to manipulate using ruby code via one of the WMI gems (e.g., ruby-wmi or wmi-lite). I have some ruby and chef experience so I might try and and wrap it all up in an LWRP, if it made sense.

Here's the WMI reference page I was able to find for Win32_PageFileSetting.

Thanks,

Brandon

This portion of code in batch will search for any instance with c:/ in pagefileset  list and based on the output will eitther set CurrentInitialPagingFileSizeMBC/CurrentMaximumPagingFileSizeMBC or goto another label

FindCurrentPagingFileSettingsP.

In my current environment, there are two instances of pagefile one in c: and another in p:

Thanks

Can you tell us in lay mans terms what that script accomplishes? There is a chance this is either done in another cookbook, or it would be better to create an lwrp.
