Anybody out there know of a matx motherboard for windows server 2008. Recently purchased an Asus P5E-VM only to be informed by Asus they do not support any windows servers. Intel site claims none of their mainstream motherboards support windows server 2003, no mention of server 2008.

what that means is they dont support them , so that if your server breaks, you cant sue them. generally you only get this sort of supportn with actual server boards

server 2003 or 2008 will probably run fine on them
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

I had tried installing Server 2008 on the Asus board and the driver install definitely does not work. Before I rip out the asus and install an Intel DP35DPM board I would like to know if others have successfully installed Server 2008 on an Intel matx.

Cheers

the drivers might not work because windows server might have not tested those driver as yet. you should check here
to see if your devices are supported

I presently have Server 2008 installed on a VM running on a Asus board

most hardware vendors are just about to start supporting 2008 in the next month or two. the drivers are still in beta testing.
