Abstract
This integration note provides system engineers and network administrators with tested information to
upgrade successfully from Microsoft® Windows NT® 4.0 and Microsoft® Windows® 2000 to
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 with Microsoft Service Pack 1 (SP1) applied on HP ProLiant
servers. This document includes information on planning, preparing, and upgrading their existing
operating system to Windows Server 2003 with SP1 applied.
The focus of this document does not include installing new installations of Windows Server 2003 SP1.
For information of this nature, refer to the integration note titled “Implementing Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 on ProLiant servers.” This document and others pertaining to
Windows Server 2003 can be found on the HP Windows Server 2003 website at
http://h71028.www7.hp.com/enterprise/cache/8193-0-0-0-121.aspx.
Planning the upgrade
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is a Windows operating system that takes the best of Windows
Server 2000 technology and makes it easier for you to deploy, manage, and use. In 2005, Microsoft
delivered Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to enhance security, increase reliability, and
simplify administration of Windows Server 2003. Windows Server 2003 SP1 provides refinements
and supplies cumulative system patches to Windows Server 2003. Additional reasons to upgrade to
Windows Server 2003 SP1 can be found at the following location:
www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/top10reasons.mspx.
To effectively plan for the change, you need to understand the differences between your current
configuration and your Windows Server 2003 SP1 configuration. Moving from Windows NT 4.0,
DNS becomes the primary method of name resolution and your network administration becomes
much more granular and localized. It might seem extremely complex at first, but good planning
eliminates much of the difficulty.
To effectively plan for these changes, find and update your network map to determine how and why
your network looks as it does. What domains do you have and why? Does the structure work
internally? What changes could make network use easier? Will certain changes make your network
administrators more efficient? What are your security needs? What are your bandwidth needs?
How do you use or plan to use the Internet within your organization?
Look at the entire network infrastructure to establish what improvements should be made before the
upgrade begins. Look at your current applications and determine if they will operate in a Windows
Server 2003 SP1 environment or if you need an upgrade or replacement. How are the applications
used? Which groups use them? Will this make a difference in your network structure? Are there
similar applications in use elsewhere in your organization that are more likely to be compatible with
Windows Server 2003 SP1? Take time to investigate Windows Server 2003 SP1, your hardware,
and your applications.
NOTE:
Microsoft developed the Application Compatibility Toolkit to help
users determine which applications in their environments support
Windows Server 2003 SP1. You can obtain the associated white
paper and download the utility from the Microsoft website at
www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/compatible/appcompat.
mspx.
2

Establish functional teams with experts in directory services, administration and management, core
operating system (OS), networking, applications, and hardware compatibility. Have these teams
evaluate Windows Server 2003 SP1. Plan on four to six months to correctly plan your upgrade
strategy. Make clear assignments and verify progress along the way. The planning process for a
project of this scope is a critical piece in its success.
Fix any problems in your Windows NT 4.0 and/or Windows 2000 environment and verify that your
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) works properly. WINS will be necessary on your system
until all clients are Active Directory aware. Identify the resource domains to be collapsed into the
Active Directory domain structure, and check for duplicate names across the entire network. Audit
your security environment and determine how global groups can help with the upgrade process.
Understand the Microsoft supported upgrade paths for moving to Windows Server 2003 SP1 from
Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0 as seen in Table 1.

IMPORTANT:
You must move to an equivalent or higher operating system during
the upgrade. Downgrading to a less powerful operating system is
not recommended.
Once you decide where you are, how you got there, and what is available, determine where you
want to be and how to get there. Who will upgrade first? How will you determine when the next
group is ready to upgrade? What security issues are most important? How long can you allow for the
full upgrade? Develop a roadmap with clearly defined action programs to make sure you have a
strategy that can work. Your strategy should include checking the HP Windows Server 2003 website
on a regular basis for new information. HP Services can help you plan your upgrade to Windows
Server 2003 SP1.
Reasons to upgrade or to perform a new installation and other useful planning resources are
available at the following areas of the Microsoft website:
•For existing Windows 2000 environments:

Preparing for the upgrade
To prepare for a successful upgrade, it is important to ensure that your server meets the system
configuration and supported platform requirements and you have all of the software and tools
necessary to complete the tasks at hand. The following sections provide guidelines to help prepare
you for this endeavor.
Recommended system configuration
Table 2 lists the recommended minimum system configuration established by Microsoft for Windows
Server 2003. Service Pack 1 does not change the minimum system configuration established by
Microsoft. Make sure that your server meets the requirements of the Windows Server 2003 edition
you are upgrading to and that it is one of the servers listed in Appendix A: supported servers of this
document.
The recommendations listed here pertain to the Windows Server 2003 operating system only and do
not include the requirements for software applications that run on your system. Please check your
application requirements to make certain your system can run both the operating system and your
software. Most software vendors have this information posted to their website.

Upgrading from Windows NT 4.0
The procedures detailed in this section support upgrading from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows Server
2003 SP1 on ProLiant servers. Follow the prerequisites and choose either of the installation paths to
complete the upgrade: (1) manual install or (2) unattended/scripted install.
During a manual upgrade from Window NT 4.0, there are five drivers that produce a warning
(cpqcisse, cpqdaen, cpqfcac, prlntss and cpqfcftr), if installed. With an unattended/scripted install,
these warnings do not stop or hinder the upgrade.
Prerequisites
Follow the steps below to prepare for a successful upgrade.
1. Select a supported system platform from the server platforms listed in Appendix A: supported
servers.
2. Download the Primer Utility from the following website:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/10776.html. The Primer Utility
removes previously installed utilities not supported under Windows 2000 or Windows Server
2003.
3. Extract the file on the system that you want to upgrade.
4. Read the Help file if you have any questions regarding this utility.
5. Execute PRIMER.EXE to run this utility. Then, reboot the server.
6. Use the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) or the System Configuration Utility to set the OS to
Microsoft Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003.
7. Choose either of the following installation paths and proceed to the associated section to complete
the upgrade:
•Manual install
•Unattended/scripted install
Manual install
After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, continue the upgrade, as follows, to
perform a manual install:
1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 CD and start the upgrade within the
Windows NT 4.0 operating system.
CAUTION:
If you boot from the Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1
CD, the CD will perform a clean install, not an upgrade.
2. Accept the End User License agreement and enter the license key provided by Microsoft.
3. Click Next and the installation will continue.
4. After Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 has been installed, install the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP), if you want to use the functionality of the ProLiant Management
Agents.
•Select the Control Panel from the Start menu.
•Select Add/Remove Programs.
6

•Click the Add/Remove Windows Components button.
•Select Management and Monitoring Tools from the list of components.
•Click the Details button.
•Select Simple Network Management Protocol so that a checkmark is displayed in the
checkbox.
•Click the OK button and then the Next button.
•Click the Finish button.
5. Download and install the latest ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) from HP website:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html.
Unattended/scripted install
After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, for an unattended install, create an
answer file (UNATTEND.TXT) and a distribution point (I386 folder) where you can save all the
necessary files for installation.
Microsoft offers a utility, SETUPMGR.EXE that allows you to create an answer file and helps you set
up a distribution point. For additional information, refer to the following Microsoft document: HOW
TO: Use Setup Manager to Create an Answer File in the Windows Server Family (Q323438).
CAUTION:
Make sure you add the following line in the unattended section of
the UNATTEND.TXT file.
[UNATTENDED]
NtUpgrade=Yes
If you do not add this line, then Setup will continue with a fresh
install, not an upgrade.
CAUTION:
If you are using the OEMPreinstall flag with the UNATTEND.TXT
file, remove the following:
[UNATTENDED]
OEMPREINSTALL=YES
Upgrades may fail if the OEMPREINSTALL=YES option is enabled.
Depending on the requirement for the applications being installed, a system administrator can write a
very detailed script file to perform many tasks. In our scenario, HP engineers created two batch files
that performed a fully automated upgrade by performing the following steps:
1. Allow administrator to log on without entering the password.
2. Launch the upgrade (WINNT32.EXE) from the distribution point/server.
3. Provide the license key provided by Microsoft and other necessary information until the installation
completes.
7

4. If you want to use the functionality of the ProLiant Management Agents, install the Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) as follows:
•Select the Control Panel from the Start menu.
•Select Add/Remove Programs.
•Click the Add/Remove Windows Components button.
•Select Management and Monitoring Tools from the list of components.
•Click the Details button.
•Select Simple Network Management Protocol so that a checkmark is displayed in the
checkbox.
•Click the OK button and then the Next button.
•Click the Finish button.
5. Download and install the latest ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) from HP website:
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html.
Upgrading from Windows 2000
The procedures detailed in this section support upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows Server
2003 with Service Pack 1 on ProLiant servers.
When upgrading from Windows 2000 with NIC teaming installed and active, an issue with a .DLL
file that halts the manual install exists. This issue is not seen during an unattended/scripted install.
Prerequisites
Follow the steps below to prepare for a successful upgrade.
1. Select a supported system platform from the server platforms listed in appendix a.
2. Double-click on My Computer, then select Help from the menu bar and click on the About
Windows option. Verify whether the system has the latest Microsoft Service Pack installed. If this is
not the case, download the latest service pack from the Microsoft website
(www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp4/default.asp) and install it on
your server. This action ensures that the server has the latest software components Microsoft
supplied prior to the upgrade.
3. Download and install ProLiant Support Pack for Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 7.30A from the
software and drivers website at
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/1989.html. This action ensures
that all drivers and utilities provided by HP are suitable for upgrading to Windows Server 2003.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to update drivers provided by HP before beginning the
upgrade process might result in unexpected failures during the
upgrade to Windows Server 2003.
4. If Compaq Network Teaming is installed, unteam currently teamed network interface controllers
prior to the upgrade.
5. If installed, uninstall HP Smart Array Multipath Software Version 1.0 before proceeding with either
upgrade method.
•Select the Control Panel from the Start | Settings menu.
8

•Select Add/Remove Programs.
•Select Compaq Smart Array Redundancy Filter Driver from the list of components.
•Click the Change/Remove button.
•Click the OK button.
•Click the Cancel button.
•Shut down the server.
•Disconnect the SCSI cable from the redundant Host Bus Adapter (HBA).
6. Choose either of the following installation paths and proceed to the associated section to complete
the upgrade:
•Manual install
•Unattended/scripted install
Manual install
After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, continue the upgrade, as follows, to
perform a manual install:
1. Insert the Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 CD into CD-ROM drive to begin installation.
Follow all instructions for upgrading the server.
2. When prompted, choose to download updated setup files from Microsoft.
You will then get two yellow bangs (which is expected and should not halt the upgrade from going
forward). One message tells you that Internet Information Services (IIS) is going to be disabled
during the upgrade, and the other message is for the Fax service.
The upgrade proceeds through copying the install files, and then reboots the server. The install
continues smoothly through the following phases: preparing installation, installing Windows, and
installing devices.
If you have Compaq Network Teaming installed, see the information below:
•During the Installing Network phase, the installation stops (approximately with 32 minutes left
of the install to complete) and a dialog pops up specifying Insert Disk (see actual message
below).
Please insert the compact Disk labeled 'Compaq Network Teaming Disk' into your CD-ROM
and then click 'OK'.
•When dialog pops up, click Cancel for the installation to proceed. After this point, the
installation proceeds uninterrupted until it is complete.

3. Install ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Version 7.30A (or later),
which is available at http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html.
The PSP contains numerous files. All files must be present in the same directory as the SETUP.EXE
program for the PSP to be installed properly.
NOTE:
During the PSP installation, the HP ProLiant Network Teaming
and Configuration for Windows Server 2003 utility will be
installed. Use this utility to reteam your network interface
controllers if you were previously using network teaming.
4. If HP Smart Array MultiPath Software Version 1.0 was uninstalled prior to the upgrade, install HP
Smart Array MultiPath Software Version 2.0. Then, reconnect the SCSI cable to the redundant
HBA.
Unattended/scripted install
After completing the tasks identified in the prerequisites section, continue the upgrade, as instructed
below to perform an unattended/scripted install:
1. Using SETUPMGR.EXE, create a distribution on a remote server (or any server that does not
contain the OS being upgraded). The SETUPMGR.EXE program can be found in
\support\tools\deploy.cab of the Windows Server 2003 SP1 CD.
2. Choose Completely Unattended Install and proceed through the Setup Wizard until it completes.
•Add the following in the [UNATTENDED] section of the UNATTEND.TXT file:
[UNATTENDED]
NTUpgrade=Yes
CAUTION:
The UNATTEND.TXT file created must be modified to allow
unattended upgrade installs. If you do not put the string
specified above into the file, the install will automatically
default to a clean install.
•If you are using the OEMPreinstall flag with the UNATTEND.TXT file, remove the following:
[UNATTENDED]
OEMPREINSTALL=YES
NOTE:
Upgrades may fail if the OEMPREINSTALL=YES option is
enabled.
3. Start the unattended upgrade. Copy the UNATTEND.TXT file and UNATTEND.BAT file created in
steps 1 and 2 to the server you are planning to upgrade.
10

NOTE:
Upgrades may fail if the OEMPREINSTALL=YES option is
enabled.
4. Verify that you have network connectivity so that you can run and install the files off the network.
Also, verify that you have the correct privileges to run from the Windist folder. (This should have
been configured when you ran SETUPMGR.EXE, but should be verified.)
5. Execute UNATTEND.BAT locally. There will be a brief pause, but then the graphical user interface
(GUI) should run and proceed with no interruptions if everything was set correctly when you ran
the SETUPMGR.EXE file and modified the UNATTEND.TXT file. The server should reboot once.
6. Pay close attention to the BOOT.INI options that pop up. Verify that the installation is performing
an upgrade and not a clean install at this point.
7. After the upgrade has completed and you are logged into Windows Server 2003, install Version
7.30A of the ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) for Microsoft Windows Server 2003, which is available
at http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/3376.html. The PSP contains
numerous files. For the PSP to be installed properly, all files must be present in the same directory
as the SETUP.EXE program.
8. If HP Smart Array MultiPath Software Version 1.0 was uninstalled prior to the upgrade, install HP
Smart Array MultiPath Software Version 2.0. Then, reconnect the SCSI cable to the redundant
HBA.

Issue 7 ProLiant servers running the iLO Advanced and Enhanced System Management Controller Driver
(CPQASM2.SYS) may stop responding during an upgrade from Windows 2000 to Windows Server
2003.
Description During an upgrade from Microsoft Windows 2000 (any edition) to Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 (any edition), ProLiant servers running the iLO Advanced
and Enhanced System Management Controller Driver (CPQASM2.SYS) may stop
responding when the system has 34 minutes or less remaining in the upgrade
process. This is caused by Windows stopping and restarting this driver during the
upgrade.
If Version 5.33.2195.0 or earlier of the CPQASM2.SYS driver is installed, the
following Authenticode security alert will be displayed:
Security Alert Driver Installation
The driver software you are installing for HP ProLiant iLO Advanced
System Management Controller has not been properly signed with
Authenticode (tm) technology. Therefore, Windows cannot tell if the
software has been modified since it was published......
Do you still want to install this driver software?
Yes or No
If "Yes" is entered to install the driver, the system may stop responding. The
Authenticode security alert occurs because the Windows 2000 version of the iLO
Advanced and Enhanced System Management Controller Driver (CPQASM2.SYS)
is digitally signed for Windows 2000 only. The Windows Server 2003 version of
the driver is signed for Windows Server 2003 only.
If Version 5.35.0.0 of the CPQASM2.SYS driver is installed, the Authenticode
security alert will not be displayed, since version of the driver is signed for both
Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. The system may hang at the same
point in the upgrade process.
For more details regarding the scope of this issue refer to the customer advisory
posted at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/
Document.jsp?objectID=PSD_EM050127_CW01.
Solution This issue is resolved in Version 5.36.0.0 or later of the iLO Advanced and
Enhanced System Management Controller Driver (CPQASM2.SYS).
Prior to starting the OS upgrade, install Version 7.30A of the ProLiant Support
Pack for Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
