we're trying to install the active directory from the
adminpak and we keep getting errors saying "insert sp4 cd-
rom". do i need to put an older image on the machine,
install the adminpak, then move up to sp4? or am i going
to have to buy the cd-rom to make this work?

thanks in advance

Adminpak has nothing to do with installing "Active Directory" --
it provides various server admin tools including some to manage
AD.

I have never seen this error on machines where SP4 (or any
SP) came from the Network (Windows Update) -- sometimes
those dialogs are "unpassable" and sometimes you can just
"bypass" them even though the message doesn't indicate that.

In the latter case, skipping or dismissing them, gives you a new
chance to specify the location of the missing files.

Why do you say "older image"? SP4 is the latest full service
pack.
