Second Processor
Does anyone know if there are any issues with adding a second processor on Windows 2008\Windows 2008 Server R2 after the fact? The server is already in production and we would like to avoid rebuilding it. I found information on other forums stating that
it isn't an issue, but I didn't find the information convincing because it wasn't definitive.

Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 should detect the second processor automatically and nothing bad should happen. But please make sure you have a backup. In case windows won't detect additional CPU you will need to manually update hal (it is unlikely).With kind regards
