Server tools from a client?

[Chris]

Are there any tools that will let you use the server
Administration only type tools from a client machine. The
only way I know of resetting a password, or unlocking an
account before the timer expires is on the server itself
through AD Users and computers. It would be nice if I
could do the same from my machine as well.

Thanks

Hi

To install "Active Directory Users and Computers" on a workstation computer:

For Win2k:
Install adminpak.msi located on the Win2k Server CD-ROM

For WinXP:

Yes... all the admin utilities can be installed on a client system. I don't
remember how to do it off-hand, but that question is asked here often
enough.

Sorry I can't be more specific. I'm having a brain cramp right now.

adminpak.msi is what you need.
