Judging by the Exchange 2007 Microsoft Across America Launch Event that I attended this morning, Exchange 2007 has no limits period. If you want it to block spam, it blocks spam. If you want it to run with a 20000000TB store on Standard, it will do it. If you want it to cook you breakfast, that might require the /baconandeggs switch, but it should be able to do that as well. The /baconandeggs switch might be undocumented...
Seriously though, I know PAE is not supported on 64-bit, and I think I remember reading that /3GB is required on 64-bit OS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jose Medeiros Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2007 4:04 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Who needs that much ram anyway? 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?
