Cristiane,
As long as it's the same language, you should not have a problem upgrading
from Windows 2000 Server to 2003. See the following article reference link
for more details.

very helpful for you to review.

Since your have a German language version of Windows 2000 Server, it would
be best for you to call the local Microsoft office to consult before
upgrading. If not possible since I'm by no means an expert in this subject
matter of upgrading localized languages, then I'll try to assist you to the
best of my ability.
As I understand it from reading the following to article reference links
below, you might have to change the Language and Locale setting in Control
Panel. I personally have not tried it, which is the reason I recommended
consulting with you local Microsoft Technical Support in your area.

These other article reference links are the only reasons I've been able to
find why an upgrade to Windows Server 2003 would fail.
