after running the allow updates to zero I get this
Configuration option 'allow updates' changed from 1 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.
Msg 5845, Level 16, State 1, Line 2
Address Windowing Extensions (AWE) requires the 'lock pages in memory' privilege which is not currently present in the access token of the process.
I have added the lock pages in group policy to my account but I am thinking that might not be the right account to set it on. My Sql server services run on the same account as the lock pages was set to.
