I was looking for the W2K Pro version as it was not mentioned in the list of
OS's on the Download page.

Are you sure you can use it on W2K?

This is what was in:

"The AdminPak.msi file cannot be installed on any version of Windows 2000,
or on Windows NT 4 servers. To manage servers from Windows 2000 machines you
can install the Windows 2000 version of AdminPak.msi on your Windows 2000
machine."

Based on this, I assume you cannot run any version of the AdminPack program
on any NT machine.

If you can't run this on the W2K machine, where do I find the W2K version?
And will it allow the W2K Pro machine to administer the Windows 2003
Servers?

Thanks,

Tom
