The Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit provides an additional set of graphical and command-line programs that you can use to help you better manage the network. As with Support Tools, the Resource Kit tools are available for installation on systems running Windows Server 2003 and can be used with all versions of Windows Server 2003 as well as Windows XP Professional. To install the Resource Kit tools, you’ll need the distribution CD-ROM shipped as part of the boxed Resource Kit set or Internet access so that you can obtain the free download from the Microsoft Windows Download Center. In either case, you install the Resource Kit tools as follows:

1 Start the Windows Resource Kit Setup Wizard by inserting the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive or double-clicking the executable file you downloaded from the Microsoft Windows Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/.

Caution The Resource Kit tools installation modifies the Help And Support center. You must close any instances of this console that are running before you start the installation process. Otherwise, the installation will fail.

2 Click Next. Read the End-User License Agreement, and then, if you agree and want to continue, click I Agree, and then click Next again. (If you do not agree, the installation will end.)

3″

3 After you enter your user information, click Next, then select the destination directory for the Resource Kit tools. The default location is %ProgramFiles%\Windows Resource Kits\ Tools. You can accept the default, type a new directory path, or click Browse to search for a location. The Resource Kit uses about 37 MB of disk space.

4 To start the installation, click Install Now.

Once installation completes, you access the Resource Kit tools through the Resource Kit Tools Help. Click Start, point to Programs or All Programs as appropriate, click Windows Resource Kit Tools, and then select Windows Resource Kit Tools Help. As with Support Tools, Resource Kit tools are organized alphabetically by file name and by category. Clicking a tool name accesses a help page that displays the online help documentation for the tool. The tool help page also has a link for running the tool.

Note The executables for the Resource Kit tools are in the installation directory, which by default is %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools, and once again, the system path is updated to include the Resource Kit installation directory. This allows you to run the tools at any command prompt regardless of the current directory. In most cases, you can type the command name following by /?, such as moveuser /?, to display the command syntax.
