What about the 3Gb switch in the boot.in that is required to take advantage of the additional memory. Also depending on the age of the server and CPU, you may also need a PAE / AWE switch. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283037 Since the final realease of Exchange 2007 will only be 64 bit and require a 64 bit version of Windows 2003 or Longhorn, I am not sure if the switch will be required, any one else know?
