Adprep 32-bit Download

[NSpirit]

I am bringing a Windows 2003 Server into an existing Windows 2000 domain,
thus need to run adprep.exe. Because my Windows 2003 server is 64-bit, the
media doesn't contain the 32-bit version of adprep (which I need in order to
run on my Windows 2000 schema master). Does anyone know how I can acquire the
32-bit version of adprep, other than purchasing the 32-bit media for Windows
2003? I have been unsuccessful in finding a suitable download.

That has to be absolutely the lousiest solution EVER from Microsoft....

The download is not available at the link--one must CALL Microsoft to receive the file or download a 600mb + TRIAL VERSION to get a 100k file out of it. What are they trying to protect!?!??!?!

By the time I get through to Microsoft's tech support, it's be quicker for me to drive all the way across town (and I live in Metro South Florida) and back to retrieve the file from my library.....

All to get a Windows 2003 server to join a Windows 2003 (!) domain!!!!!!!!

Microsoft's support quality lately has been dropping faster than the value of my stock....
