Try SSD 6.4 or the just released 7. 6.4 has worked for us on DL380G3 series servers, kl -----Original Message----- From: windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:windows2000-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jennifer Hooper Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 12:44 PM To: 'windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [windows2000] Problems upgrading to 2003 on Proliant box Hi Gang - Here's what we are trying to do, and I need to know if any success has been had. We have 6 dual-processor Compaq Proliant DL360s that we are trying to put Windows Server 2003 on. When we run Smartstart 6.3, it tells us that only versions up through 5.3 are supported. So we did that and flashed the hardware to see if it would take SS 6.3. No dice. Smartstart 5.3 does not support Assisted Integration for Windows 2003, only Windows 2000. Tried Manual Install, that didn't work either. So we went through the Windows 2000 installation thinking that we could upgrade it to 2003. We installed a base version of Windows 2000 SP4 and tried to run the install. When we did that, we get the following: Compaq Network Teaming and Configuration Software HP Proliant Advanced Systems Management Controller Driver Fax Services These are not compatible with Windows Server 2003. When we try to continue past it, it kicks us right back out to the install home page. Do we need to disable all of this, even though they are not being used? Or is it more complicated than that. We're beginning to think that Windows Server 2003 may not support the hardware, but it's Dual Pentium III 800s and 128M of RAM (for now). Our goal is to get a working image of 2003 so that we can put it up on a RIS server to configure the other 5 DL360s. Thanks so much! Jennifer Jennifer Hooper Peregrine Systems, Inc.
