NT admin tools on 2000 pro 1

[gfunk123]

I am on a totally NT4 network, but I would like to evaluate 2000 on my workstation but still be able to administer the network with all of my regular NT tools ie

server manager
user manager for domains
exchange 5.5. admin console
dhcp admin
ras admin
wins manager
MMC for SMS 2 and SQL7
DNS admin

etc

Does any body know if I can run these NT admin tools from win2000 professional (exchange 5.5 is especially important)

Any help would be greatly appreciated before i go and trash my NT box

gfunk,

I know that server manager, user manager, MMC, and exchange admin 5.5 will all run fine under win2000 pro. Not positive about the others but I think they will work as well.

I've had no troubles running any of the NT Server tools on my Windows 2000 installation.
