Windows Server 2003?

Question

Our school uses Windows Server 2003 as the primary OS. I need to add various server roles, but once I go to install these, I'm prompted to put in the Windows Server 2003 CD. Our school does not currently have a copy of the CD. So I was wondering if there was any possible way to get the installation files for free.

Thank you.

If you are doing this on behalf of the school they need licenses for all their software. Tell them to get licensed and give you a copy.

If this is for your personal education get them to take advantage of the MSDN academic alliance program and get software for educational use cheap or free.
