I'm trying to do a Windows Server 2003 deployment using SCCM. Much of the articles I found pertains only to client OS and Windows 2008. How is this possible? Can you help me with the step by step procedure. bonoman406

I'm using an HP Proliant Server and it comes with SmartStart CD that helps you configure the RAID setup of the server. Supposed I have 3 x 300GB and I want to configure these disk to RAID 5. I want to allot 80GB of the logical disk as System Drive. Using the SmartStart, it will allow you to choose the OS version of Windows and where the image will be coming from (cdrom, iso, virtual media). From this setup there is no option to use SCCM as your source unless I boot up using PXE instead of the SmartStart cd. What are the steps & procedures you do when it comes to RAID configuration before OS installation? And servers that are using Start Up CDs like HP and IBM?

thanks jason.... will check on this first and get back to this thread to whatever result will be.

hi jason.... i tested the document and encountered problem on the part of accessing the SCCM server, this is probably the client server cannot get IP from DHCP yet. In our environment we don't activate DHCP on the server farm's subnet, we apply them by static. Is there a way to resolve this issue, though as specified in the document. Just wondering if you have done this procedure and resolved the issue. HP ProLiant server boot methods HP ProLiant servers support multiple means of booting, including PXE and using Virtual Mediathrough the Integrated Lights-Out controller. DHCP is recommended to use in the server operating system deployment environment. HP is currently diagnosing the issue of static assigned network IP address.

I'm using a boot disk that was created using the OS migration procedure.
