I am working on a server that does not have a dvd rom in it but does however have server 2008 on it. How did they get 2008 on it.

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
