Disabling hiberfil.sys in Server 2008

Recommended Posts

Windows creates a file named hiberfil.sys in the root of the system drive for systems where hibernation is enabled. The hiberfil.sys file is always the same size as physical RAM. This can be a lot of wasted space particularly if you are not using hibernation (and on a server, who is ?).

 

so, to disable it you need to open a command prompt and type the following:

 

powercfg.exe /hibernate off

 

more info (vista) > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730

 

The commands to ENABLE hibernation are:

 

powercfg.exe -h on

 

powercfg.exe -hibernate on

 

The commands to DISABLE hibernation are:

 

powercfg.exe -h off

 

powercfg.exe -hibernate off

 

 

 

cheers
