I've tried to install the adminpak onto 3 different W2K servers, and on each machine, it prompts me "Please insert the disk labeled: Please insert the disk labeleld 'Windows 2000 setup CD'". It is not a misprint on the repeated please insert text quote up above. I would like to add the Schema snap-in into a MMC console, but it isn't available, and now I can't install the tools onto a server. I can install it onto a W2K Pro machine, but it can't access the schema master.

Any help is appreciated.

I ran into this problem when I tried to install. Then I copied the adminpak
into a temporary location on the server on which I wanted to install and
installed from the copy in the hard disk. It worked OK. Wonder why
I had to do that but it worked.
Also you may need to register the dll using the command:
"regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll".
After that you can add the snap-in into the MMC.
