Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack Final Build 3790

Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack is a comprehensive software solution designed specifically for machines running Windows XP and Windows 2003 as an operating system, whose main purpose is to offer users the means of executing remote server management tasks.

The utility comes in the form of a self-extracting archive, prompting users to choose the decompression folder, after which it generates several files, the most important of which is the ‘adminpak’ executable.

Users should bear in mind the fact that they need to benefit from administrator privileges when installing and running Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack, due to security reasons.

It is recommended that before proceeding with the installation of this version, users remove any older tools from the system, so as to prevent any conflicts or other similar problems.

Double clicking the EXE will cause it to install series of components on the host computer, designed to assist users in managing servers remotely. The installed tools fall into several different categories, namely directory services management, storage administration, system administration and network administration.

Some of the most important components refer to the ‘Authorization Manager’ (which helps developers easily integrate into their application access control according to users’ role), ‘Cluster Administrator’(simplifies the management of multiple PCs which function as a single system by ensuring critical programs or system resources remain accessible to their users).

Other tools include the ‘Distributed File System’, ‘IP Address Management’, ‘Network Load Balancing Manager’, ‘Remote Desktops’, ‘UDDI Services’(assists users in handling standardized XML web services), ‘Public Key Management’ and many others.
