First off I honestly would not know why you want to, running any OS off a CD / USB is normally slow.

But if you are set to do it that way, check out Bart's PE builder at http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/

The installation of Server 2003, WILL NOT be portable.

The only system it will boot from is the system used to create it. ;)

There are no Technical Problems. You just need to insert the Large USB Stick and install the OS to the USB Stick by following the prompts. When asked where you want to install Windows to select the USB Stick not a Internal HDD.

I'm supposing you realize though that only the drivers for the Hardware Involved will be installed so you can only use this USB Thumb Drive to Boot with on Identical Hardware right?

Easy thing to do if you want to prevent anyone writing to the Boot Source but absolutely Pointless if you want a Portable Version of Windows 2003 Server as it's only going to work on that one Hardware Configuration.
