BUG: The Server Network Utility dialog box does not open when you try to open the utility by using SQL Server Enterprise Manager (830775)

MORE INFORMATION

Server Network Utility cannot be used to administer a remote instance of SQL Server 2000. Therefore, a computer that has only the client tools for SQL Server 2000 installed does not have to have Server Network Utility. If you want to administer Server Network Utility settings for a remote instance of SQL Server 2000, you can install server components, register the remote server, and then use Server Network Utility to administer the instance. For security reasons, we recommend that you use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to the server, and then use the Server Network Utility administration on the server.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. On a computer, install only the client tools for SQL Server 2000.
