remove administrative tool from member server

we have 2 DC running server 2008, the member server is 2003 also a terminal server. I see there is administrative tool in program file which I can manage access active directory on this member server. But why it's there? I checked the add/remove program and there is no Administration Tools Pack installed. How do I remove it?

If there is no Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack in Add/Remove Programs you'll have to manually remove the snap-in files.

I'm not sure how you can remove the admin tools icon in control panel manually.

Another thing I would suggest is copying the installation files to this server, then ctrl+right click the setup.exe file and select "uninstall" (if available) if not click Install, it should find the installation files and say that it is already installed.

From there it should let you uninstall the program.

Hope thsi helps!
