ESX 4.1 u2 - Windows 2003 STD (32-bit) - vCPU problem
Hi,
I have problem with Windows 2003 STD, system had 1 vCPU. I powered it off, change to 4 vPCUs everything went ok, no errors. I powered it on, and system still see only 1 CPU. In windows 2003 there are no erorrs.
If you have any similar problem I would be glad for any help.
