In the past I have used User manager for domains to change, add and delete users and their properties remotely on NT workstations and member servers. Now when I use this Admin tool to try and access an NT box remotely I receive the error " Could notfind domain controller for this domain". Either it has been so long since I've used this tool that I am missing a step or there is there something wrong.

If you're running NT4 Domain controllers simply create a synced copy of usrmanager that resides on the dc in your briefcase on your desktop.

I have seen this a few times before and am reaching far back into my memory, so I hope this helps. Two different things I have seen cause this. Ofcourse the easy answer is that there is a problem with the PDC, like the netlogon or an issue with trusts, since you are talking about a box, I am guessing you are talking about managing local groups on a single box. In that case I have seen people have problems because they do not have the "\\" before the computer name. Hope this helps.
