Hello,
Good to hear from you.
According to the message, I understand that the NIC driver is not
recognized after you in place upgrade win2k server to win2k3 server. Is
this correct?
It seems that you now have two concerns:
1. Understand why /checkupgradeonly doesn't help.
You have tried /checkupgradeonly option on server prior to upgrade,
however, this option doesn't help.
2. How to preload the 2003-compatible NIC driver.
As for the first concern, please check the article below.
Hardware compatibility

/checkupgradeonly will check to see if the hardware or software is
compatible with the win2k3. This is just like we go to Windows catalog to
check if the hardware is compatible with win2k3. However, Windows catalog
will not inform us to upgrade the driver. It is the same thing
/checkupgradeonly will check if the hardware is compatible, however, it
will not tell us that we need to change the driver. So we need to check
drivers and system BIOS or firmware after upgrade.
As for the second concern, it seems to be a "how to" issue. Since our
newsgroup mainly focuses on break/fix issues, we would like to offer some
general information on it.
Please refer to the following article. I believe it is useful for your work.

back in this newsgroup. We are happy to help you with them.
Hope this helps and thanks for your understanding!
