Windows Server 2003 Admin Pack on Vista

Brilliant idea, easy and fast for solving this installation problem.

Thanks
PM

I have done this with a few packages, but my pride and work horse is the admin tools along with the MS exhange manager and symantec console and symantec backup exec. all these and I can mangae the network from any client machine. Rock on SVS

Another way to solve it (without SVS)

Create a batch file with the following content:

@echo off

REM RegisterAdminPak.cmd
