My server has dual processors, but NT only shows one. How do I get NT 4.0 to recognize the second processor?

You need to upgrade to multi processor. Suggest you check the BIOS is not complicating things by only showing one proc.

The BIOS is set for dual processors and the system recognizes the 2 processors during POST. I'm just not sure how to get NT to recognize both.

When you put the second processor, the WinNT was already installed?
There is a utility in the WinNT4 resource kit, to make processor upgrade.

When you use the Uptomp utility, be sure to re-apply your current service pack BEFORE you restart the machine, after you run the utility.

Be sure to read the readme files, and check the MSKB for any updated information.

This is another great reason to upgrade to 2000 Pro. It upgrades to multi in a snap.
