I have a bunch of programmers that need the client utilities for SQL Server, (EM, query analyzer, profiler, data import export wizard). Is there anywhere I can just download these tools and install them? There is got to be a better way to get the client utils to other machines, other than using the actual sql server 2000 disk. Can I build my own insaller, that installs just these tools? Is there licesnsing issues with insalling just the tools on multiple machines?

The SQL Server client tools (Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer) do not have licenses. But your server might require CALs (Client Access Licenses) or might be licensed on a Processor basis. I suspect there is some way to do a Network Install of the client tools, but I'm not sure.

Setup a network copy of SQL Server in a network admin share. Run remote installation with the option of client tools only. You can use the file to install on as many machines as you want.
