Admin Pack

[Ron Hinds]

Where do I find what used to be called the "Admin Pack" in Windows 2000 for
XP? I'm referring to utilities that allow you to manage an Active Directory
domain, DNS, etc., from a XP Professional system. In Windows 2000
Professional, those utilities were located in an installation called
ADMINPAK.MSI located on the CD. I found what I thought was that toolset on
the XP CD, but it turned out to be a set of command-line utilities the
purpose of which I am unsure.
