I've only had experience with Datacenter server and I did the following...

In the boot.ini file, simply add on the end of the ARCpath line /PAE

eg

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)
\WINNT="Windows ???? Datacenter Server" /PAE

I just checked Microsofts's doco for this and it says its for Advanced or Datacenter server versions only.

A simple check to see if its working is to look in task Manager before and after. It'll only show the 8Gb total physical memory if its worked.

Cheers,
Tim.

Ahh... phew! I found a reference to enterprise server being supported for PAE by Microsoft. It should be ok!

I thought NT 4.0 Enterprise server supports up to 4 gb of memory only.

Windows 2000 Advance server supports up to 8 gb of memory.

Windows 2000 Datacenter supports up to 64gb.
