304718-Administering Windows Server-Based Computers Using Windows XP Professional-Based Clients (To get the 2003 RTM adminpak installed) http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304718
Note from above article- The Dial-in tab that configures Routing and Remote Access dial-in or VPN access and callback settings is removed when the Administration Tools package is installed on Windows XP clients. To manage dial-in properties on the user account, use the remote access policy administration model. The remote access policy administration model was introduced in Windows 2000 to address the limitations in the older dial-in account permission model. The remote access policy administration model uses Windows groups to manage remote access permissions. Customers who use the recommended administration model, named remote access policy administration model, should be able to use the Administration package from Windows XP to manage remote access permission for users in Active Directory. Settings on the Dial-in tab are not typically used for VPN or wireless deployments. There are several exceptions. For example, administrators who deploy dial-up networks may use callback number. In these cases, use Terminal Services or Remote Desktop to access a Windows 2000-based or a Windows Server 2003-based computer, or log on to the console of a Windows 2000-based or Windows Server 2003-based computer to manage the Dial-in tab.
