Here's a piece of FAQ from the ATI website:

Thanks for the infor. I can't just wait for Microsoft. They may never release such a driver. Someone must have figured out an alturnative to use ATI with Win Server 2003. Any suggestions? Thanks!

There are sites that have people that rewrite drivers for all kinds of things, never needed one, so don't have any links. could try searching google about ati server drivers,repackaged ati drivers. beta drivers,experimental drivers...
