use
UPTOMP. Or use the snip below from Anthony Bennett:
Forget UPTOMP.
I have successfully used the following technique as provided by Microsoft:
1) Put 2nd processor in
2) Regurgitated from archive (courtesy of Dave Nestor from Microsoft):
====================================================
I would recommend against
using Uptomp.exe unless you have revision 3 of the NT4 Resource Kit. A simpler way to do this is
to edit the hidden, read-only file called
setup.log that's in the \WINNT\Repair directory and reapply your current service pack. Update.exe from the
service pack relies on information in
setup.log for the proper files to install, it does not do any discovery process, so if the wrong information
is in that file, a dual processor computer
can be blindly returned to single processor mode.
Six files in the System32 directory determine NT's multiprocessor capability. NT is multiprocessor by default which is why we load
the mutliprocessor kernel during a fresh install. Later during
that install, if
only a single processor
is found, we install hal.dll or halapic.dll and
rename it to hal.dll and copy in ntoskrnl.exe. Setup will also
"smash locks" on four other files,
kernel32.dll, ntdll.dll, win32k.sys and
winsrv.dll to make them single processor versions. Failure to alter
those four files will burden a single
processor computer with about a 5%
performance
hit.
Therefore, the manual way
to do an upgrade is, from a command prompt only
(using a GUI will give you an access violation) rename the current six
files to *.old and copy in fresh versions
of
kernel32.dll
ntdll.dll
win32k.sys
winsrv.dll
halmps.dll and rename it to
hal.dll
ntkrnlmp.exe and rename it to
ntoskrnl.exe
Of course, these had
better be files from your current service pack and not from the original CD. Now you're left with the problem of
the setup.log file containing single
processor
information. The next service pack install will move you back to
a single processor
version of NT. So edit that file with the following information, being careful to enter the
correct checksums which will tell the next service pack not to "smash locks" on four
files.
\WINNT\system32\ntoskrnl.exe =
"ntkrnlmp.exe","e76ab"
\WINNT\system32\hal.dll =
"halmps.dll","1a01c"
\WINNT\system32\kernel32.dll =
"kernel32.dll","5b7f8"
\WINNT\system32\ntdll.dll =
"ntdll.dll","59c19"
\WINNT\system32\win32k.sys =
"win32k.sys","132603"
\WINNT\system32\winsrv.dll =
"winsrv.dll","37b4e"
Do a notepad search on
the individual file names to find these lines, since they are not together in setup.log. OK, now
you're done. Or, edit the setup.log first
and reapply your current service pack. That's the quick way to do this.

Subject: Installing second CPUI am wanting to install a second processor in my Dell 1400 server. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I will need to do to Windows NT 4.0 server to make sure I do not mess things up.
