Guest Kelly Armitage Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 I have a server (Windows Server 2003 Standard) and I am trying to run a tool called "poolmon.exe". However it does not seem to exist natively so I went to install the server 2003 admin pack found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c16ae515-c8f4-47ef-a1e4-a8dcbacff8e3&displaylang=en thinking it might also have that tool. When i go to install that admin pack from the precious link it tells me it can only be installed on XP machines, and Server 2003 machines...... which it is. At this point I am at a bit of a loss as to where this poolmon.exe is supposed to be as well as how to install this admin pack? Any ideas anyone?

First, actually the adminpak.msi can be found in windows\system32 directory on any Wiondows 2003 server. It will also get updated with the latest SP. The one you downloaded was the original version. I would suggest to update it with the current version on your 2003 server. As for poolmon.exe, it's available with the XP SP2 Support Tools (also available on the XP Service Pack 2 CD): http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=49ae8576-9bb9-4126-9761-ba8011fabf38&displaylang=en If for Windows 2003, find your CDROM and look for a folder called SUPPORT. Double click on SUPTOOLS.MSI and install it. You will now have about 30 extra executables including netdiag, dcdiag, poolmon, and many many others. -- Regards, Ace This posting is provided "AS-IS" with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

This is a fairly new version of the Server 2003 Admin Tools Pack from March. Check here as the one you referenced is ancient: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=86b71a4f-4122-44af-be79-3f101e533d95&DisplayLang=en - Thee Chicago Wolf
