I’ve got the snapin for the active directory for users and computers and the other admin tools installed on a windows 2000 pro workstation. The problem is I’m unable to use them from my workstation. I receive the following error: “Naming information cannot be located because: The server is not operational. Contact your system adminstrator to verify that you domain is properly configured and is currently online. When I click OK it brings up the AD for users & computers tool with a red X whereyou would normally expand the folder.
When I right click on the item and try to attach to a domain I can browse to the domain and select it but when the tool attempts to connect I get the following error: “Windows cannot connect to the new domainbecause the server is not operational”
So maybe the operations master is non-functional. How do I get that portion started?
The domain controller is a PDC I upgraded from NT4.0sp5 and it has been running fine. I have no problem configuring thedomain on the server but this remote admin has been problematic. The PDC is running in non-native mode as I need to maintain backwards compatibility with W98 & NT4 workstations for the time being.
