Forget about Windows 2003. It is obsolete and no longer supported. If you need a 32bit OS, 2008 is still supported, or get a Linux Server Distro. If your hardware can run a 64bit OS, then 2008r2 or above is fine.

Yeah I need the old OS for an old security camera software to manage the cameras. &nbsp;Tried 2008. The software didnt boot. Called the company and they say the version I have is not compatible. <br />

I am looking on how to make the 2003 bootable USB drive. Any suggestions on how to do that?

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
