Running Windows 2000 Admin Tools

[MadAsToast]

I Dont know if anyone else has come accross this problem, but what i need is to be able to install the Windows 2000 Network Administration Tools onto a Windows XP Professional Workstation. I am aware that alot of the tools are available on XP as standard, but i require the rest of the tools.

When you try to install them from the Windows 2K server CD (Using AdminPak.msi) it fails throwing out numerous error messages.

Microsoft/Technet Website doesn't cover this at all (that i can find).

Anyone know how this can be done ??

Thanks in Advance

Hello!

You need to download the .NET beta admin tools from MS - the W2K version will not work on XP.
