SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to create an MS-DOS network startup disk in Windows Server 2003.

Windows Server 2003 does not contain an equivalent to the Network Client Administrator tool that is included with Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0. You can use the Network Client Administrator tool to create an MS-DOS network startup disk. You can run the Network Client Administrator tool for the x86 platform in Windows Server 2003.

Set Up the Network Client Administrator Program
 Create a folder that is named Ncadmin in the root folder of drive C. Copy the following files from the I386 folder on the Windows NT Server 4.0 CD-ROM to the c:\Ncadmin folder you created in step 1:

Ncadmin.cn_

Ncadmin.ex_

Ncadmin.hl_

NOTE: You also must have access to the :\Clients folder on the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM. At a command prompt, change to the C:\Ncadmin folder. Type expand -r ncadmin.*, and then press ENTER. Double-click the Ncadmin.exe file in the c:\Ncadmin folder, and then follow the instructions on the screen to create an MS-DOS network startup disk.
