Vista - Adding a new PageFile on another drive than the system drive

Hi,

I have an issue in a script that i'm writing. Long story short my script
will need to write a new pagefile on the E:\ drive at some point, but I can,t
seem to get it through to the E:\ drive. I can only write to the C:\ drive
pagefile settings so far.

Here's a part of my code that works fine to have the C:\ drive pagefile
modified :

$ComputerName = get-content env:COMPUTERNAME
$colItems = Get-WMIObject -Class "Win32_PageFileSetting" -namespace
"root\cimv2" -computername $ComputerName
ForEach ($objItem in $colItems) {
$objItem.InitialSize = "5120"
$objItem.MaximumSize = "5120"
$objItem.Put()
}

I know that I can modify an existing pagefile on e:\ drive if it's already
there within the $colitems variable, but I need to create a new one as it
doesn't exist yet.

Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

I forgot to mention that I've tried to modify it by setting the Name object
($objItem.name) to "E:\Pagefile.sys" but it gives me the following error :

Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Exception calling "Put" with
"0" argument(s): "Access denied ""

Full modified code :

$ComputerName = get-content env:COMPUTERNAME
$colItems = Get-WMIObject -Class "Win32_PageFileSetting" -namespace
"root\cimv2" -computername $ComputerName
ForEach ($objItem in $colItems) {
$objItem.InitialSize = "500"
$objItem.MaximumSize = "600"
$objItem.Name = "e:\pagefile.sys"
$objItem.Put()
}

Nevermind, I find my way around through the registry instead of WMI.

Code :

$RegKey = "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management"
$KeyName = "PagingFiles"
$CMin = "500"
$CMax = "1000"
$EMin = "600"
$EMax = "1000"
$Value = "C:\Pagefile.sys $Cmin $CMax","e:\pagefile.sys $EMin $EMax"
set-ItemProperty -path $RegKey -name $keyName -value $Value
