I've got Exchange 2000 IM running. Using the AD Users/Computers MMC from a remote system to enable a user for IM doesn't work. After clicking "Enable", the dialog boxes are greyed out. The only place I can enable IM users is from the Exchange server. I've tried from 2 other systems. Other than this, the systems and the MMC's function just fine.

I'd like to be able to manage this from other MMC's. Any idea why this is happening? I can manage all my other Exchange features from my PC. Enabling IM appears to be the only Exchange problem I'm having.

i installed the Exchange system manager on my 2000 workstation to get it working. get the exchange 2000 server cd, run setup, select custom, then select exchange system manager.

Sounds easy, but it didn't work. I got an error c0070035 (nothing at MS for this error). When I launch the system manager, I get "Snap in failed to initialize", then an empty MMC window. Top left corner says "first organization (exchange)".
