Same as Windows Client OS with disabled Ctrl+Alt+Del Login, Shutdown Event Tracker and Password Policy, Windows Audio and Desktop Experience enabled by Default.
All Windows Server ISOs are provided with only Datacenter (non-eval) editions.
XP2ESD not used so drivers must injected manually (Which I did).
AC97 Drivers are not included by default. You can download from Here. (For VirtualBox only)
VLC is broken on Windows Server 2003 x64. I don't know why.
It is sometimes extremely slow when running in VMware Workstation/Fusion.
The installer fails on Parallels Desktop. (Doesn't seem to happen in Server 2008)
VMware Tools does not change resolution properly with latest Tools version (13.1.0). You need to use older version of VMware Tools. You can download version 13.0.10 here.
No pre-packaged ISO is provided—only the standalone .WIM image. However, you can download a minimal Windows 7 PE ISO (x86) / (x64) and insert this WIM using ImgBurn (or Rufus for USB creation).
For USB Users: Extract the PE ISO to a flash drive using Rufus and place your custom .wim directly in the root directory or \sources\ folder.
For ISO Users: Extract the PE ISO with 7-Zip, add your .wim file, and rebuild a bootable ISO using ImgBurn.
