I am testing and coming up with procedures to do an in-place upgrade
from NT4.0 SP6a to Windows 2003 in our environment.  When I insert the
Win2003 CD, and try to do the upgrade, I immediately get the following
messages:
 
============
 
Error reading information from netmap.inf
from OEM directories pre-set by the administrator.
 
If you choose to ignore this error,
one or more components in your system may not get upgraded correctly.
 
Do you want to cancel this upgrade?  Yes/No
 
=============
 
If I answer No to canceling the upgrade, I get this message:
 
=============
 
Error initializing OEM files.
 
Setup cannot continue.
 
The option to upgrade will not be available at this time.
 
An unknown system error (code 0xe0000100) has occurred.
 
==============
 
Setup then continues and only gives me the ability to do a new
installation.  Does anyone have any ideas what I'm not doing??  The
hardware is HP/Compaq Proliant DL380G3.
 
TIA!
