Windows Server 2003 in Parallels & Boot Camp

[MacVault]

Hey There! This is my first post! I've been eagerly awaiting being able to use Parallels and today is the day because my MacBook is on it's way - in the FedEx truck However, I have only Windows Server 2003. Are there any issues with that running under Boot Camp and Parallels? Are there instructions in the Parallels download that will guide me through making the same installation work in both Boot Camp and Parallels? Which build of Parallels would be the best for me to use? Is my main OS X installation at more risk by partitioning for Parallels, etc??? Any tips, tricks, or caution about what to do or not to do would be great! Thanks, MacVault!

Boot Camp drivers for Windows Server 2003?

How can I get the Boot Camp drivers to install. I just installed Windows Server 2003 under Boot Camp, restarted, loged into Windows, tried to run the Boot Camp driver CD and it says I have to be running Windows XP and then it quits? What is the work around to get the drivers to install under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise? Thanks.

I don't know if this will work for Server 2003, but the way to get the Apple drivers on Vista was to manually extract and run them.

This page gives the command line from extracting them from the .MSI
