BladeRunner 0 Posted December 4, 2003 We are running a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain here at work. Until two days ago I was using a Windows 2000 Workstation. I had the adminpak.msi package installed from the Windows 2000 server CD which gives me loads of "Administrative" options from my workstation for the domain. All was well, until I upgraded my workstation to WinXP Professional. The adminpak.msi from the Win2k Server CD wont install under WinXP. This wasn't a major issue as I could download the package directly from Microsoft. This I did, it was installed and all was working fine. However.... The option "Administrative Tool>Remote Access & RAS" doesn't appear in my list of tools. A check on the Win2k server reveals that this should launch "rrasmgmt.mmc" but for some reason the new Domain tools don't install this option. Can I simply copy rrasmgmt.mmc from a Win2k machine to my WinXP machine or is there another way of getting this administrative option? Ta Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted December 4, 2003 If you install the adminpak from the Windows Server 2003 CD (or get it from the MS website), this should alleviate those problems. The tools are backward compatible with a Windows 2000 environment where applicable. Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted December 5, 2003 Yer that's the one I downloaded. We do have some evaluation CD's for Windows Server 2003 however as I was online I decided to grab the one from the MS Website. It has installed all of the tools with the exception of the RAS & Remote Access Services snap-in. Maybe I'll give the one from the Win2k3 Server CD a go. Share this post Link to post
