Hello,
We are planning on ugrading our NT 4 account domain to Windows 2003. We
want to delegate control of regional OU's to regional managers so they can
create their own users and reset passwords. Some are still running Windows
2000 Pro on the PC so they cannot load the Windows 2003 Adminpak.msi. Their
PC's are members of the trusting resource NT 4 domain as well even though
they will be logging into the Windows 2003 account domain.

I heard that you can still use the Windows 2000 adminpak on a windows 2003
domain although you wont be able to do everything like all the group
policies. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is this ok?

Have you tried just running the Win2003 AdminPak.Msi on the
Win2000 machines? (I think it works on XP workstations as well.)
