Hello there.

I'm trying to following some instructions to the letter, and the
instructions partly include the following.

Install Microsoft DNS Server
1.Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2.Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
3.Click Add and Remove Windows Components.
4.The Windows Components Wizard starts. Click Next.
5.Click Networking Services, and then click Details.
6.Click to select the Domain Name System (DNS) check box, and then click OK.
7.Click OK to start server Setup. The DNS server and tool files are copied
to your computer.
8.Continue to the next step to configure the DNS server.

Now when I get to step 6, the item is not listed? I'm running Windows 2000
Pro on a machine. Can anybody tell me why it is not there, can I install it
manually from the cd? Or is there a special version (as such) of Windows
2000 Pro that has it?

Regards.
Paul.
 
I think I might have just answered my own question, am I right in thinking
it has to be Windows 2000 Server? and it won't work (also the Active
Directory) on Windows 2000 Pro?
 
Looks like I'm getting good at this answering my own questions..

I've just found I can install the Active Directory Admin tools from the
Win2003 Server CD...

Don't ya just hate when that happens.
 
Yes it has to be server
