How to install just Active Directory snap-in on windows xp

I would just like to install the AD Users and Computers snap-in on a windows
XP pro machine. How would I do this w/out installing all the other Admin
Tools such as DNS, DHCP, etc.

Create a taskpad.
Start - run "MMC"
File - Add remove snapin - add - Active directory users and computers

OK your way out and save.

At what point did it say this?

Did you install the adminpak.msi?

He's only wanting to install just the DSA.msc snap in, and not the others.

Re: How to install just Active Directory snap-in on windows xp

Put this line in notepad:
msiexec /i adminpak.msi ADDLOCAL=FeADTools /qb

Save it as a bat file. Put adminpak.msi and this bat file in a folder and
run the bat file.

Then check the taskpad.
