Adminpack for Win XP

I wonder when the adminpack.msi for xp is availible, so that it supports the administration tools that works with 2000 server. Or is there other ways to go for example use active directory on win xp? Does anyone know? :)...

I can also confirm it works smile
I look after our Active Directory domain here at work from my WinXP Professional station.
(Well I do now, couldn't upgrade until that adminpak had been released).

I was administering my both ADs using Terminal Server before, but now the new release is making administration much easier.

Yer, I was using Terminal Server.
It's just so much quicker to launch the admin tools I find.

I'm the only one using XP at work, don't think we'll be upgrading anyone else, although the remote desktop features are nice.

Interesting. The file comes from here:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Utility/3590/WXP/EN-US/adminpak.exe

.../download/whistler/utility/...

I'm surprised they're still using Whistler in the path!

What was Whistler's codename at the very very beginning? Chicago?

Whistler as far as I know is still the beta name for the WinXP server products.

As for Chicago, well I guess you could say that was the name in the very beginning, if I remember correctly that was the beta name for Win95.
