Administrator console on a computer that has the Systems Management Server 1.2
Administrator installed, you can do either of the following:

  dual-boot, then install the Systems Management Server 2.0 Administrator
  console on the second installation of Windows NT.

  -or-

- Use the Systems Management Server 1.2 Setup program to remove the Systems
  Management Server 1.2 Administrator and then install the Systems Management
  Server 2.0 Administrator console.
