Does anyone know or has anyone successfully used the /pae switch on a Windows 2000 server? Any complications associated with using it? All of the documentation that I see pertains to Advanced Server and Datacenter Server. Thanks.

The PAE switch can only be used on servers with more than 4 GB of Ram. Since Windows 2000 only supports 4 GB of Ram, you can not use it. That is why all of the info starts with Advanced server,Datacenter server, etc. because they support more than4 GB of Ram.
