Hi--
I'm currently running windows 2003 enterprise, with exchange 2003 standard.
I'm running on a somewhat old , yet still capable, machine-- an hp netserver lh6000, with 6 900mhz PIII xeons.

I picked up a copy of ISA server 2006 stndard, and am planning my setup .. but noticed a warning on microsoft's website that you should not install isa standard on any machine with more than four processors...

What will happen if I attempt this? will isa just not recognize the other two processors? or am I going to have problems?

I think the install will fail IIRC.

Cheers

well, that sucks.
so, my choices are to either yank out two processors, setup a separate box for ISA server, upgrade to enterprise isa, or just scrap isa...

Is this a licensing or hardware issue?
