when running ExBPA against a Window's 2003 SP1\Exchange 2003 SP1 cluster
that we just build the health check complains about two things:

-the 3gb switch is not set (this is not accurate)
-hot-add memory config (not a problem..this is accurate)

The 3GB switch is indeed set on both nodes of the cluster:

--
[boot loader]
timeout=5
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
Enterprise" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut /3gb /userva=3030 /maxmem=4096
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons
--

Is it that the gb part is not in CAPs?

Oh and to add to this ExBPA detects that the cluster nodes have 9983 MB of
memory detected when they only have 4gb installed (3.75gb according to the
OS)

Hi Steven,

Would you mind exporting the output XML file, then zip and send it to
pbowden@microsoft.REMOVETHIS.com (e-mail address intentionally obscured).
I'll take a look, and then report back to the newsgroup on the problem (or
to you personally, if you prefer).

Many thanks,

FYI - I worked with Steven offline. It looks as if the server in question
wasn't rebooted after the Boot.ini changes were put in place.
