Hi,
I have 02 - R720 servers, I need to install Windows Server 2003 R2 32-bit on it, I am not able to find Dell OpenManage Systems Build and Update Utility DVD on support.dell.com web site. Now I am looking help from your side to help/guide me on this situation.
Waiting for response.

Dell does not support Server 2003 on their 12G systems, so SMTD/SBUU will not work to install it. You will have to try to find the drivers on your own to get it to work. You are MUCH better off installing 2003 as a virtual machine on this server.
If you want to try, with the knowledge that it "may" not work, then let me know which RAID controller you have, how many disks, and what size.
