Administrative ToolsNotes |
Upgrading from W2K
If you have the W2K version of
adminpak.msi installed on a W2K Professional or
Server machine and then upgrade this machine to XP or WS2003, the
previously installed tools aren't automatically
upgraded and no longer work on the upgraded machine.
It's best to uninstall the old version of
adminpak.msi before performing the upgrade and
install the new version afterward.
New Versions
Be sure to
watch Microsoft's web site for updated versions of
the WS2003 Administration Tools Pack that might correct some of the
deficiencies and incompatibilities of the release version. Each
installed version of adminpak.msi includes an
APVer.vbs script that can be used to verify
which version you have installed on your machine.
