Re: EXPBA reports /3GB missing when it is not |
|

Hello Arch,
ExBPA detects this condition by inspecting the internal operating system
configuration. We don't parse the boot.ini itself, just in case the /3GB
switch was added after the server was booted, or if it was booted under a
different option. If the OS is telling ExBPA that it will only allow a 2GB
address space for user mode, then other apps (including Exchange) will be
told the same thing.
If you zip and send your output XML file to exbpafb@microsoft.REMOVETHIS.com
I'd be happy to tell you what the problem is.
Kind Regards,

| Quote: | On the exchange server as well as the exchange server, the EXPBA tool
reports:
"Active Directory server blahblah has 1 GB or more of physical memory but
does not have the /3GB switch set in the Boot.ini file"
The kicker is that if you look at the boot.ini file, the line says :"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
Standard" /fastdetect /USERVA=3030 /NoExecute=OptOut /3GB"
Does anyone have any idea why it does that?
Thanks!
