The Altiris eXpress Server service terminated unexpectedly.  It has done this 1 time(s).

Environment
DS 6.8 SP2

Cause

UNKNOWN:

Boot.ini  contains /3GB /PAE /USERVA = 3008

AWE is already enabled and its configured for 3.6 GB. The /3GB switch is going to limit the OS to 1 GB. The USERVA will provide a little bit back to the kernel. That leaves about 1.4 GB for applications.

Resolution
Adjusted AWE memory on NS giving memory back to the applications.

In query analyzer ran:

sp_configure 'max server memory', 3000
Reconfigure
Go

Problem hasn't reoccurred since memory adjustment.
