I am running Windows 2000 Pro SP2 on a Compaq Deskpro EN 933. I installed the adminpak and ever since when I open administative tools and click Computer Management/Local Users and groups or Active directory users and computers I get this pop up error:

MMC Snap-in failed to initialize,
Name: RAS Dialin - User Node Extension CLSID: {B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}

I have tried reinstalling the Adminpak. That did not work. I uninstalled the adminpak and the problem still occurredwhen I clicked the Computer management users and groups. I have tried a Windos 2000 repair through the Rcovery console, An upgrade install and I tried exporting the registry that the error message referenced to a file and deleting it from the registry. Nothing seems to get rid of this message. My last resort may be to do a fresh install. Maybe ther is a simple answer out there. Can anyone help? Thanks

the best thing I can tell you is that is happened to me and after about to weeks of working on it. I decided to reformat and start clean. After the install the first thing I did was install the admin pack . IT worked fine and I haven't had a problemyet!
before you try that go and remove the ras dailer snap in and restart your computer. If this is the only problem you are having. if not the reformat in the only option that worked. I even called microsoft with the problem.
