OMSA on PE 6300?

I'm having trouble installing Server Administrator on our PE 6300 server running Win 2K3. I've updated all the firmware and drivers and I get a message saying "No applications can be installed on this server".
Has anybody ever seen this or come up with a workaround? I've tried installing v3.4 and also 4.5 for ha-ha's.
At least 4.5 gets me to a point where it scans the server and tells me it's not a supported server.
v3.4 just givesd me the above message and quits.
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.

    I do have SP1 on there. Is there a workaround?

    Do you have Windows 2003 with SP1 on that PE6300?  If so, that's probably what is causing the problem.  If it were just Windows 2003 without a Service Pack, then it probably wouldn't be a problem.

    Good morning

    I have a PE 6300 that has given me fits over the last month or so. Anyway, good luck on this. :) Do you have the original Server Install CD that came with the server when you bought it? I wonder if you can do a selective install of ONLY OMSA from it? Just a thought. Other than that you can try an older version like 3.7.1 I also had to talk to the DELL tech support at one point several months ago and they told me that there is a way to force the OMSA to install but I never got to that point.
