This has been covered many times with all builds of .net and W2003: by default sound or any high resolution grahics which employ DirectX and not enabled in a server OS. You will have to enable these manually by running dxdiag.exe in the system32 sub-directory.

Or you could just go start, programs, accessories, system tools, system information, and then pick tools and then direct x diagnostics then choose the display tab, then go down to direct x features and enable everything there. Then choose the sound tab and slide the slider over to full acceleration. Then go into your control panel look for sound and audio devices look for speaker settings choose advanced and then performance tab and slide the slider to full acceleration.

Not only did this work for me, I now use Windows .Net 2003 Server Enterprise Edition to run a dedicated game server, and it runs great too.......
