Accessing active directory from W2K-pro

by jimdugmorecom . Updated 25 years, 7 months ago

Does anyone know how to add a snapin for the active directory for users and computers onto the MMC on a windows 2000 pro workstation. I’ve tried saving the console from the server to a share and opening it on my local machine but a message reads “snap-in failed to initialize”

I cannot even manage the domain controller via computer management on my workstation MMC. I can add the computer as a snap in but when I try to connect a message reads:
“computer \\domain\computer cannot be managed.The network path was not found.”

Along the same lines, I am not able to choose a domain group when assigning permissions to a share when using computer management on a server that I can attach to let’s call it . In this scenario I can create new shares and change their permissions via MMC so long as I specify groups or users local to , but I cannot specify a domain group unless I’m at the servers console. <>
