You can copy the Srvmgr.exe and Usrmgr.exe files from a Windows 2000 Server installation and use them on a Windows 2000 Professional workstation to administer downlevel DCs. These tools can also be installed from the Windows NT 4.0 Server CD-ROM.

To install Windows NT Server tools on a Windows 2000 Professional workstation from a Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM:
