netservers and SBS 2003

[Carol Chisholm]

I've read your many related messages, and would just like to confirm there is no newer information:

Somewhere in the HP / Compaq merger the netserver range got dropped from support and testing. Although there are BIOS upgrades, 2003 drivers for the NetRaid controllers and so on, HP don't "support" Windows 2003 let alone SBS 2003.

So owners of these computers have to change hardware in order to upgrade their OS, even though Windows 2003 was released not long after they purchased their netserver?

Many of you have upgraded to Windows and SBS 2003 successfully, but HP isn't helping.

At least we have competition in the server market...

Carol,

The E-800 did support SBS, however that is an old product line and is retired. Here is the OS support matrix for the old netserver line.
