Domain Admin Tools for Win XP Pro

[rwhensley]

Is there a way to install active directory tools (ad
users and computers, domain trusts...) on win XP Pro? On
the resource CD for W2K server there is a download that
works on W2K, but not for XP Pro, or you can use the Win
NT server support tools on W2K and XP; but I would rather
use the MMC console instead. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

You want the admin tools supplied with Windows server 2003. There is a
download on the MS website i believe, search for adminpak.msi and you should
get some hits.

It works great, had no problem attaching to any of my
domain controllers. I searched this morning, but had no
ideal it would be included with W2003.
