Exchange Server 2003 data backup and Volume Shadow Copy services
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822896/en-us
Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA)
System firmware can create a table called the Static Resource Affinity Table
that describes the NUMA topology of the system. Windows Server 2003,
Enterprise Edition uses this table to apply NUMA awareness to application
processes, default affinity settings, thread scheduling, and memory
management features. Additionally, the topology information is made
available to applications using a set of NUMA APIs. NUMA available in
Winodws Server 2003 Enterprise - R2, this is what i found, and it is not
available in Standard Edition of Windows R2. nothing related to Exchange
Server 2003 and NUMA was found.
