administrative install question

[goldmeier]

I have a server (Win2k server) running an administrative install of Office 2000. Most users are using this as a base for network based Office.
I want to install Office XP on the same server as an administrative install. Can I just install it? Can it run 2 different version of Administrative Office installations?

Thanks

My understanding of admin installations are that they are not, as such, installed on the "host" server. They merely act as an installation point which enables you to install on to workstations without the hassle of CD key's, plus the ability to specify all the install options. Therefore you should have no problem installing from the admin install onto the same machine.

Corrections or observations on this gladly welcome.

I'm not sure if you can keep both Office Xp and 2K on the same server, though I'd seriously doubt it, but this link may provide some helpful information.

We have admin installs of Office 2000 and Xp on the same serve r. Mainly used for an installation point, but we have a few workstations of each running from the network. So far, (knocks on wood), no problems.

Eventually we will migrate everyone to XP
