How do I install Administrative Tools?

Installing Administrative Tools

Any computer running Windows 2000 Professional or Server can be used to administer accounts in Active Directory, but you must first install the Windows 2000 Administrative Tools from the Windows 2000 Server CD.

  1. Log on as an administrator of the workstation. Insert the Windows 2000 Server CD into the computer and browse the CD.
  2. Go to the \i386 directory.
  3. Locate and run the adminpak.msi program. The Windows 2000 Administrative Tool Setup Wizard appears, as shown below.

  4. Click Next to start the installation.

Accessing Administrative Tools

After installation is complete, you can find the Administrative Tools by clicking on the Start button, pointing to Programs, then Administrative Tools.

If Administrative Tools are not displayed, right-click on a blank area of your Start bar and choose Properties. This brings up the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties windows shown below. Click on the Advanced tab and in the Start Menu Settings frame at the bottom of the window, make sure that there is a check in the box next to Display Administrative Tools.
