    SQL2000 Ent. memory still 2gb issue....

    Hi:

    we just upgrade OS to Windows 2003 Ent version for a prod SQL2000 Ent. (sp4) server, and with 8 gb.

    here is the boot.ini
    ----------------------
    [boot loader]
    timeout=30
    default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOW S
    [operating systems]
    multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windo ws Server 2003, Enterprise" /pae /fastdetect /noexecute=optin
    ----------------------

    1. past was 4 gb, with 3 gb to SQL
    2. after re-start, from sql server properties--memory,
    maximum server memory is 8187(in MB)
    3. but from task manager, still allocate only 2 gb
    (so actually, 'worse' than previous 3 gb)
    4. from SQL log:
    Message
    Cannot use Address Windowing Extensions because lock memory privilege was not granted.
    5. sql service log on with domain/admin
    6. on windows Local Security Policy, add domain/admin to
    a. Lock pages in memory
    b. Log on as a service

    Any part we were missing? Kind of urgent issue.
    thanks in advance
    David
