I have tried imagecfg on my win2003 server ...
Here my results:
------------------------
D:\tf2_2fort\orangebox>imagecfg -u srcds.exe
srcds.exe contains no configuration information
srcds.exe contains a Subsystem Version of 4.0
srcds.exe updated with the following configuration information:
Image can only run in uni-processor mode on multi-processor systems
Image can only run in uni-processor mode on multi-processor systems
D:\tf2_2fort\orangebox>imagecfg -a 0x1 srcds.exe
srcds.exe contains no configuration information
srcds.exe contains a Subsystem Version of 4.0
Image can only run in uni-processor mode on multi-processor systems
srcds.exe updated with the following configuration information:
