    Finding compatible drivers for the server OSes are often trial and error. Go with the XP drivers.

    Like what surfasb said, its kinda trial & error and Windows 2000 or XP Drivers are the closest you can get for Windows 2003 Server. What I did back then was to extract all the exe/drivers and look for the answer file and try to edit them to force an installation.

    I believe its because Lenovo doesnt support Win 2003.

    It's far easier on desktops, since the generic drivers will work there.
