Model of Server 2003 - (basic steps) - sysprep?

Hi guys

I think to create a template for my Server 2003 standard R2 (which is what we use on most of our servers)

Could someone please indent the steps to do this for me?

What do you guys install, update, add to the base image - before you create a model.

Should we we sysprep this model - if yes, when?

Please guide me further.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sysprep must be installed in VC, not in the virtual machine

    I don't want the drivers.  I mean the software.  The drivers you get from the page server 2003 and the software from the page I referenced.   Otherwise, you need to contact HP, as they provide that software, not Microsoft.

  • Which laptop model can be installed in Windows Server 2003 and PIA?

    People,

    Hello. The PIA (Weblogic and Tuxedo and SQL Server) and the PeopleTools are compatible with Windows Server 2003 or 2008. But it is not compatible with Windows 7. Because my HP laptop is installed with Windows 7 and can not be installed on Windows Server 2003 or 2008, I need to buy another laptop to install Windows Server 2003 or 2008 PIA and PeopleTools.

    I need to know what model of laptop computer can be installed on Windows Server 2003/2008 and double boots several operating systems. Everyone installs Windows Server 2003/2008 and PIA in any laptop? Please tell me the model of the laptop.

    Thanks in advance.

    Any modern laptop with lots of RAM (> = 4 GB) and hard disk space, within capablities of 64-bit virtualization should be well.
    Even if you have Windows 7 OS to host, you can still install a virtual machine software installable on top of your operating system (for example, VMWare), then install an operating system supported as a virtual machine (called guest operating system). You will work on this virtual machine, exactly as it was a server, waiting for your host what OS is also running, no need to dual-boot.

  • Server 2003 driver needed

    Hi all

    I need your help.

    I have a printer (Photosmart C7280) and I need to install it in the operating system Windows Server 2003 but, unfortunately, theres no driver available for Windows Server 2003.

    Anyone know where I can find a compatible driver?

    Thank you

    I have an idea that can help solve your problem. Please keep in mind that the below solution NOT an official solution of HP and you are try this at your own risk.

    1. Download HP Photosmart basic driver from the HP website.
    2. Double-click the downloaded exe file
    3. An installer is displayed. Click 'Cancel' to end
    4. Go ' Start-> Run ", type"%temp%"and then enter. The Exploer will direct you to the temp folder
    5. Look for a folder named "7zS1.tmp" (or similar) and open it
    6. Autorun.inf open with Notepad
    7. Go to the section [SystemRequirements] (not [SystemRequirements.600] or some other qualification)
    8. Change the value of the key 'oslist' in this section: "oslist = 500, 501, 501_64, 600, 600_64, 502, 502_64.
    9. Change the value of the "warnproducttypelist" key in this section: "warnproducttypelist = 0".
    10. Change the value of the "blockproducttypelist" key in this section: "blockproducttypelist = 0".
    11. Save the file
    12. Run setup.exe and let the installation program
    13. When you connect the printer to your computer, 'New hardware detected Wizard' may appear. Please choose "Install from a list or specified location (advanced users)" and click on ""next "".
    14. In "Search for the best driver in these locations.", check "include this location in the search:", go to the "7zS1.tmp", mentioned above and click on "next".
    15. If a "Hardware Installation" warning dialog, click "Continue Anyway"
    16. Click 'Finish' to close «New hardware detected Wizard»
    17. Please note, step 13-15 can repeat several times

    Please let me know how it works for you. I'm very interested and want to help.

    Good luck!

  • Server 2003/2008 drivers for Tecra M11 - 11J

    Hello

    I had to install Windows server 2003 on a laptop (don't ask) and cannot find a driver anywhere. Have tried all the windows drivers on the drivers page and had no luck.

    Thought that I'd stick 2008 there to see if it automatically recognized but no luck there either.

    Anyone know how I can get around this?

    I also tried to figure out what model NIC is installed, so I can get the drivers directly from the manufacturer (Intel I guess), but Goggling it comes with anything.

    Hello

    > I had to install Windows server 2003 on a laptop (don't ask) and cannot find a driver anywhere

    I guess you're meaning that the network driver.
    Tecra M11 - 11J seems to support the * pilot Intel 82577LC * LAN.

    Maybe you could find the driver on the Intel page

    I'm looking for a driver lan for Toshiba S10 - 10F for Windows Server 2003 or 2008.
    Or at least, I would like to know the model of network card.

    Thank you

    Toshiba doesn't support an OS Server on laptops, so you will not find such a driver on the Toshiba site.

    You can try to search for a driver on the site of the factory. As far as I know that the Tecra S10 has a Intel LAN card while you should search on the Intel site [www.intel.com]

    In addition, you can try to use the XP Server 2003 driver and driver Vista for Server 2008. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

    Good luck!

  • Tecra A10 - 12O: installing the driver network card in Windows Server 2003 R2 Std

    Hello

    I received 6 laptop Tecra A10 - 12O, and we need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition with SP2 in all these six machines. Windows Server 2003 has been installed perfectly, but now we have only the network LAN card to work but we are unable to install its driver. When I installed Windows XP from the supplied DVD for Toshiba, it says Intel 82567V Gigabit network adapter. I tried to download the drivers for this adatpor of drivers Toshiba, Intel Web site, but it will not install in Windows Server 2003. I also tried manually force to choose and install a driver from the list, I choose that it will install but shows yellow question mark in Device Manager means that it does not work with this driver.

    I also tried the same Intel 82567V drivers from some sites non-Toshiba, of these models using the same network card, but is not truck drivers at all.

    I understand these laptop computers does not support Windows Server 2003, but these were ordered to be used as servers with Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and I am required to make the Installer only with activated and installed network adapter.

    I try last week and exhausted all means to get the installed network adapter driver, but all have failed. Can someone please help with this? All support will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy

    If I m not wrong Windows Server 2003 uses the same drivers as Win XP and I guess that it s driver problem not a LAN, but perhaps also the problem of Windows Server 2003 installed.

    You are right; the LAN chip seems to be Intel 82567V and the LAN driver downloaded from Intel page should work 100%.

    In your case, I would recommend installing the chipset driver.
    Remove the LAN card from Device Manager, then restart the laptop.
    Then go back to Device Manager and update driver in pointing devices Manager to the place where the driver downloaded LAN was stored on the HARD drive.

  • Windows Server 2003 detects no audio device

    When I start Windows Server 2003, I hear no sound start. I hear no sound XP, nor do I hear the sound of UK.

    Then, I discovered that volume does not work as well. When I go to start > Control Panel > sounds and Audio devices, it says "no Audio device". There IS an audio device built into the logic board.

    I went through every troubleshooting step and what I see is that I need to get drivers.
    Unfortunately, Windows Server 2003 is an old operating system, and it is almost impossible to find the drivers. When I go to start > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager, I see one category "Other devices" with a yellow question mark icon. I see 2 devices inside, "On the HD Audio Bus Audio device" and "Base system device". Both have a little yellow warning sign next to them. Double-click any of these two, and he said: 'the drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28)', and when I click on the button to install the driver, it gets stuck in the research or error "cannot install this hardware", said.
    I don't have the disc or Windows recognize even anything on both devices. I also made sure that audio has been enabled in the Services, and that did not work. You have a driver or a fix? Answer as soon as possible!

  • Server 2003 migration

    Hello

    I have a 2003 SP2 SBS server and plan to migrate to a new Server SBS essentials Server 2012 running.

    I already read on the site of MS the steps to do the migration, but there is a concern that I have. The current Server 2003 is the local domain controller running AD, as well as the Exchange and running backups. Documentation of migration, he said that essentials can serve as an Exchange Server. Is there a solution for this? I intend to turn off the current 2003 server once the new server is in place. However, I don't want to be stuck where I find myself with 2 servers.

    If essetials will not work to do a full migration is another 2012 OS Server I can use on my newly built SBS?

    I have a Windows Server 2003 32-bit R2 network environment in which I have several printers of several different models that are deployed through the print via Group Policy clients.  The clients are Windows 7 Professional 32 bit upward through this year.  This year I finally went to a customers of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.  All printers deployed on all 32-bit clients with no problems, but there is only one, LaserJet P2055dn printer, I have 2 that will not deploy new 64-bit clients.  All other printers model deployment and install correctly.  If I try to install the P2055dn printer on the 64-bit client as a network printer everything seems to start to install, but it fails with the message 'X connection to printer Windows cannont connect to the printer.' with "the operation failed with error 0x0000007e" under display invisible characters.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?  Thank you!!

    This problem has been resolved.  I was adding 64-bit via the button drivers additional drivers add tab of the properties of the printer share.  When I removed the driver I installed in printing management and installed there, the problem has been resolved.  The printer is now deployed as my other printers.
