At least not directly... We have a Team of highly talented individuals that contribute to the DriverPacks.

One such outstanding individual is Galapo who provides a tool called OffLine SysPrep.

OffLine SysPrep will update your Source with DriverPack MassStorage flawlessly It also has some other cool features like automatic hal detection ect. IDK if 2k3 is supported for certain but it is definitely your best shot.

You might also look at the Universal Imaging section here at DriverPacks

Welcome to DriverPacks!

Excellent first post

Thanks for that information.

So besides installing the RAID controller and loading the driver before I move the hardware, there is no other way to inject the drivers I need into this existing installation without syspreping? Can't you manually add drivers so it sees them on startup?

Just to add a few more notes on my situation. This is a domain controller that has all the FSMO rolls. Therefore My plan is to use acronis true image to do the transfer and I have a procedure for this. I'm just worried that doing a sysprep will mess up this process and perhaps cause this DC to get off sync in some way from the other domain controllers in my forest.

thanks

I will be purchasing a new Dell PowerEdge 2950 and moving from a Dell PowerEdge 2600. When I migrate over I will be applying the acronis image I have to this new server. Before I do this migration I am wondering if there is a way to install the necessary RAID drivers for this new PowerEdge server ahead of the migration so that I don't blue screen after I've applied the image. If I go and apply the driver packs to this installation and integrate the RAID driver using the 3rd Party DriverPacks folder along with the Driver Packs base program will this allow windows to detect the correct RAID drivers for this new poweredge server and avoid those bootup blue screens?

thanks
