SBS and moving to new hardware
|
From: LBTsupport on 18 Jun 2010 08:00 He everyone, I have had a very strange experience with moving SBS 2003 sever to new hardware, I have managed to move about 20 of them with no problem at all ( all going to the same Intel server board S5500HCV board ). But on 2 occasions I have come across a problem with using PAE, now these 2 machine came from same model of system board ( another Intel board ) but when the system boots using PAE it will blue screen of death ( 0x050 Page fault in non paged area ) I have spoken to Intel about this and they cannot really offer any assistance other than changing the board or changing the bios options. ( but the boards are fine as they work normally under a clean install ) I have also opened a case with MS support, there answer was to re-install from scratch (which is not an option as both these customers have 50+ machine�s ) despite them remotely connecting to the machine and running various tests. Now I have a test machine with the same hardware and I can replicate this problem at will using a backup from the customers live server. And the first time I booted the system before all the system drivers were install it would see the whole 4GB no problems� so I am thinking there some driver in there from the old board that is some how compatible with the new hardware and causing a conflict. I have tried removing all non present devices from device manager� just want some thoughts from the rest of you guys in case there is something I have missed.
