    To enable AWE and configure Lock Pages do we have to restart server or SQL service.

    any views.

    AWE no. Locked pages, requires a service restart. If the /PAE switch is not in boot.ini already, that requires a reboot.

    32-bit only, on 64 neither PAE nor AWE is relevant.

    Hi Gail,

    But MS specify in Books online that

    To make AWE available to an instance of SQL Server, use sp_configure to set the awe enabled option to 1, and then restart SQL Server.
