Case closed - after some digging it turns out that Windows Server 2003 R2 just means that it's got Service Pack 1 included (with a few extras)! Installed the software without problem.

Yeah, R2 comes in either a 32bit flavor or 64bit.<br />
<br />
And FYI, the 2003 resource kit DOES NOT work on the 64 bit OS's (currently).

I need to use one of the tools from the Server 2003 Resource Kit, but we are running Server 2003 R2. I know that the software is not to be used on 64 bit Server OS, but MS give no indication whatsoever about using the standard kit on R2. Alternatively, is there an easy way to run a program (EFS from Chimera) as a service on the server?

Resource kit for Windows Server 2003 R2

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
