Is GPMC with SP1 compatible on Server 2003 at SP2?

[Guest Curious_2k3]

I have upgraded my servers to SP2, and now there is no GPMC to use. Can the

GPMC with SP1 be used when the servers are at SP2?

 

I would not want to risk any issued as they are al domain controllers.

 

Thanks

GPMC with SP1 is the latest available for Windows prior to Vista; it works

fine with 2003 SP2.

 

You don't need to install and run GPMC on a domain controller - you can

install and use it from any server or workstation (e.g. Windows XP). If you

choose do this, you may want to import the ADM files that come with 2003

SP2. Vista Ultimate (and I think Enterprise and Business) come with GPMC

already installed.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

Thanks for the info Bruce. I will install it locally on my desktop.
