Windows 2003 on IBM Servers for UCCE

[dchumbley]

Building an 8.0 lab on a new IBM servers and having problems getting the OS installed.  Previously with the HP servers I'd use the SmartStart cds that came with the servers to get them built.  Not sure what I am missing with the IBM server but it keeps rebooting to Windows Setup and never fully installs.  Any ideas what I could be missing here or what the steps are for loading 2003 on the IBM servers.  Thanks

New IBM servers use "serverguide" which is a bit like the old HP smartstart stuff (choose your os and options etc..)... I have found though it can be a bit hit and miss with windows options that are selected in the interview stage...
