Win Server 2003 & Optiplex 755

[Dr@g0nic]

Hi Guys

At work we just used Dell Optiplex 755 and installed Windows Server 2003 Standard on it.

The driver cd we got with the desktop is only for Vista and XP it seems. The Chipset and NIC installed fine, but the rest of the drivers don't work. i checked Dells site, and theres nothing for server 2003. i checked the previous model, the 745, nothing, just win 2000 is additional in the 745 drivers' supported OS's

Anybody had the same encounter maybe or can give a suggestion.
And I've tried my friend Google. he's not very helpful on this one. The only answers I've found is on the chipset which we already installed.

I've installed Win2003 on the 7XX desktops and sinply went to device manager and tried to manually install by pointing at the Dell disk.

Worked for me but it might take some tinkering.

thanks for the suggestion.
unfortunatly we decided that win2003 isn't actually necessary so we installed XP.
But I will keep it in mind in the future thanks
