Windows Server 2008 on Proliant ML380 G3 recommended? HELP Installing NT 4.0 in HP Proliant ML 110 Windows 10 home vpn client connects but cannot ping the server 2003. HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003: adpahci.cat adpahci.inf adpahci.sys readme.txt satadsk1 txtsetup.oem HP 6-Port SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Server 2003: aaccin.dll aacmgt.inf raidisk1 txtsetup.oem aac.cat aac.inf aac.sys 4. ![]() I have one HP server proliant ML350 G6 with OS windows 2008 standard edition installed. I would like downgrade the OS and Microsoft could let me a Kit for the operation with windows server 2003 R2 standard edition. Now I have a doubt for the drivers compatibility. In fact on the page of the there are Windows Server 2003 and the 64-bit Extended Systems. I think that Win server 2003 and Win server 2003 R2 are different by the kernel and I suppose I will have problem for driver compatibility. What do think about? Best regards, massimo. 2003 R2 was not a kernel change. The drivers would be the same as for 2003. VER on Windows 2003 R2 reports the same as 2003: Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] 2008 R2 is however very much different from 2008. If you are not using the HP installation CD, you may need to install using a floppy drive if you want to have the latest storage driver from the start or the Windows media does not recognize the storage controllers. During setup, you would press F6 when prompted, to install a different storage controller driver. Of course with modern hardware, that would be a USB floppy drive. 02:07 PM 37,576 cp011324.xml 07:35 AM 233,248 cpqsetup.exe 07:28 AM 372,736 generic.dll 05:17 PM 9,330 hpcisss2.cat 01:01 PM 114,280 hpcisss2.sys 01:01 PM 12,741 hpcissx2.inf 09:33 AM 200 install.xml 01:01 PM 4,030 txtsetup.oem 8 File(s) 784,141 bytes. I am trying to deploy a copy of Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard on a HP Proliant server. Unfortunately I am missing something. I downloaded both the executable for the operating system to my computer and then put it on a flash drive. I tried this initially placing the excutable in a folder. I then downloaded a copy of the Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 and placed it is a different folder. I moved both folders to a flash drive and was ready to go. On the HP Proliant server it asked me what kind of Operating System I was using and I selected Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard. It then asked me where the file was. I selected USB0 (flash key) and said I was using a flat file. I did not download the ISO version so everything looked good. At that point it showed me to the directories on the flash drive. I selected the one with the operating system and saw mount usbo0 and my directory name I created for the executable. I double clicked on it and nothing happened. It didn't give me the ability to press next and it didn't look like an operating system either started to load or had loaded. Am I doing something wrong? I have a PXE server for deploying Windows XP and Windows 7 to workstations. The process is as follows: • Boot the workstation from the NIC. • Workstation sends a DHCP request. • DHCP server responds with an IP address and the location of the PXE server. • Workstation downloads WinPE image file from PXE server via TFTP • Workstation stores WinPE image file in memory and executes it. • Once booted into WinPE, I connect to a network share to gain access to either the Windows XP or Windows 7 installation files. • A custom script is launched to guide you through the process of formatting and partitioning the hard drive(s) (using DISKPART and FORMAT). • Another custom script asks for details such as the hostname to assign to the workstation. The answers provided are used to build an unattended answer file (SIF [Setup Information File] for WinXP and XML for Win7). • The Windows setup EXE is launched, passing the unattended answer file to it as a parameter. The Windows XP and Windows 7 installation sources have been customised to include the drivers for our Dell workstations. They also run a number of scripts upon first booting up to install software packages. This process works very well for our workstations and I would now like to use it for building our servers too. The vast majority of our servers are HP Proliant DL360 G6, DL380 G5 and DL380 G6. They’re running Windows Server 2003 (various editions) or 2008 (various editions). To date, we have always built the HP Proliant servers using the SmartStart CD provided. SmartStart does three useful things for us: • Setup RAID with HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU). • Installs and configures SNMP • Installs various HP Tools for Windows (HP Array Configuration Utility, HP Array Diagnostic Utility, HP Proliant Integrated Management Log Viewer, etc) Using SmartStart I have never had to manually download and install Windows drivers for network, sound, video, etc.
