adminpak.msi for Vista?
I want to upgrade my WinXP Pro to Vista RC1, but I tested in the lab and it
removes the Admin tools. I have a 2000 AD. The only way I know to get AD admin tools (AD Users and computers, AD Sites/Services, etc.) is to actually set up Longhorn Server, the make it a DC, then use the tools installed to administer the other domain. Is there any other way? |

adminpak.msi for Vista?
Currently the only way to get the Server 2003 adminpak to work on Vista is
to modify the MSI file. If you search Google you can find the directions. BTW..after RTM, Microsoft is going to work on an AdminPak for Vista. -- Tom Ziegmann Microsoft Certified Professional Windows Vista / Server Longhorn TechBeta Tester Windows Server 2003 SP2 TechBeta Tester - wrote in message ...

I picked one up for $100 used. |

I don't understand the connection you're making between upgrading XP and getting another computer. -- Rock [ MVP User/Shell] |

Don't send mail. Frank I understand that. But he didn't clarify it. His statement, without any clarification, makes no sense. The OP was talking about a test environment. -- Rock [ MVP User/Shell] |
