Can the AD services (LSASS, etc) on a Windows 2003 DC running
enterprise edition take advantage of more than 4GB RAM? Is
it limited by the 2GB application addressing issue? Thx

Hello,

Typically, a process running under Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 can
access up to 2 GB of memory address space. Based on my knowledge, by using
/3GB switch in Boot.ini, we are able to allocate 3GB RAM for user
application.

I'd like to provide you with the following articles for your reference:

2003

Have a nice day!
