Install the Windows 2000 Administration Tools
After you install the Windows 2000 Administrative Tools, you can also remotely run administrative tasks on Active Directory by using the Active Directory administrative tools from a computer that is not a domain controller (DC). The Active Directory administrative tools can only be used from a computer with access to a Windows 2000 domain.
NOTE: You must have administrative permissions for the local computer to install and run Windows 2000 Administration Tools, and you must have Domain administrative permissions for the domain that you want to run administrative tasks on to remotely manage a server.
To install Windows 2000 Administration Tools on a local computer:
Open the I386 folder on the appropriate Windows 2000 Server CD-ROM. The latest version of the Windows 2000 Administration Tools is on the latest Windows 2000 service pack CD-ROM.
Double-click the Adminpak.msi file.
Click Next, and then click Finish.
The Adminpak.msi file installs the Active Directory administrative tools, and other administrative tools, including the Terminal Services Client and Cluster Administrator.
