[geek-y-guy]

Hi All: I really like the Remote Desktops snap in on Server 2003. I admin a
number of servers, however, from my XP Pro desktop. Is it possible to run
Remote Desktops MMC snap-in on XP Pro?

Not sure if that snap-in is included, but it might be in the Windows Server
2003 Administration Tools Pack, which you can download at

Alternately you could remote desktop into the server and run the MMC on the
server.

Hi,

You need to download and install the adminpak.msi for XP. Just google
it and it should come up.
