Dear all I have setup a W3KR2 member server in a AD domain which has one AD server (which is W3KR2) I would like to install the AD support tools so that I can access AD from my member server. I have downloaded the support tools from the MS website and installed the tools from the W3KR2 disk, can anyone please point me in the right direction.

As I see, you have already downloaded the administrative tools pack. Now click on start > run and write mmc then click on OK. Once done, click on file > Add/remove snap-in and add the administrative tools you want to use. After that, connect to your server using your administrative tools to administer it remotly.

Hello, install the adminpak.msi direct from the DCs folder c:\windows\system32 and they are all added to the administative tools folder on the local machine which you have maybe to enable via the startbar and menu properties.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.
