I need to reduce (remove 2 CPUs) the number of physical CPUs in one of our servers (4 CPUs to 2 CPUs). Does it have any impact on the Windows Server 2008 operating system? I mean, do we need to reinstall it or we can use it without any problem after the CPUs number reduction.

    Be aware that the memory banks belonging to the now empty CPU sockets will no longer be usable either. – HBruijn Dec 09 '14 at 14:08
  • If you have a lot of software that runs on the server then you can certainly expect a slowdown for starters. What is the server used for? – MonkeyZeus Dec 09 '14 at 21:36

It will just work. Obviously it will require a restart, but removing the CPU requires a powerdown already.
