Upgrading from

Windows 2000

Server to

Windows Server

2003

When a Broadcom NetXtreme II adapter is installed in your system,
Broadcom recommends that you uninstall the adapter's driver before
performing an OS upgrade from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server
2003. This ensures that no errors are encountered in the installation of the
Windows Server 2003 drivers for the NetXtreme II adapters. The device
drivers for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 are not the same and
require the installation of the Windows 2003 drivers to be performed after
the OS upgrade is completed.

Preparing an

Answer File

When creating an answer file for an unattended installation or for the
System Preparation Tool (Sysprep) utility, the following lines must be
included under the [Unattend] section:

OemPreinstall=Yes
OemPnpDriversPath=Drivers\NIC

Note

This does not include an unattended installation when performed
from a CD-ROM.

Note

The path shown in OemPnpDriversPath can be appended with the
path to other applicable drivers.

For an unattended installation, place the Broadcom NetXtreme II driver
files in the $OEM$\$1\Drivers\NIC directory. For Sysprep, the drivers are
located in Drivers\NIC at the root of the system drive. The Broadcom
NetXtreme II driver files are listed below according to the operating system
to be installed:

Windows 2000: bxvbd.inf, bxvbdx.sys, bxvbd.cat, bxnd.inf, bxnd.cat,
bxnd50x.sys, bxndcox.dll, bxdiag.cat, bxdiag.inf, bxdiagx.sys,
wdfcoinstaller01005.dll, and wUDFUpdate_01005.dll

Windows Server 2003 (ia32): bxvbd.inf, bxvbdx.sys, bxvbd.cat,
bxnd.inf, bxnd.cat, bxnd52x.sys, bxndcox.dll, bxdiag.cat, bxdiag.inf,
bxdiagx.sys, wdfcoinstaller01005.dll, and wUDFUpdate_01005.dll

Windows Server 2003 (x64): bxvbd.inf, bxvbda.sys, bxvbd.cat,
