Windows Team != Exchange Team We've (Exchange MVPs) pushed and pushed for this for several patches over the last few years. Approval cycles, timeframes, requirements, etc. all differ between the teams. I'm sure politics are involved too.
I think the closest we got was that Exchange 2003 sp2 wouldn't install if a couple of particular Windows hotfixes weren't already installed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Susan Bradley, CPA aka Ebitz - SBS Rocks [MVP] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 11:47 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: Re: [ActiveDir] OT: Who needs that much ram anyway? Personally I was surprised that a Windows 2003 server and Exchange 2007 would need a patch to run more than 4 gigs because "This problem occurs because of a problem in the Windows kernel" Seems to me in the x64 era, we're all going to be running more than 4 gigs so they should bundle this up in the Exchange 2007 installer from the get go rather than having everyone stumble across a KB article. I'm assuming it's discussed in the readme that no one reads?
