WIN2K/Server 2003 drivers

I'm about to build out a Proliant DL360 in Windows 2000 Server. When I went to the HP/Compaq Driver Download site I noticed that the driver choices were Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003. Does anyone know which drivers I should use for the WIN2K Server buildout?

I would bet anything that "Windows 2000" covers all Windows 2000 versions. Good luck!

Also, here's a Win2k implementation document for Proliant servers:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information. HP/Compaq also replied and confirmed the Windows 2000 downloads were for the server.
I printed out the Win2K Server document from the ftp site - very helpful.

Rob is correct, Win 2000 covers all Win 2000 products. Just as a side note, a lot of drivers that were included and PnP for Win 2000 and Win 2000 Server products were dropped in Win 2003 server. They appear to have become more selective with what they consider 'certified'. I had problems with certain NIC cards, which I found very interesting.
