Hello,

I would like to know how I can allow the the Administrative Tools to be run from a Win9x client.

I am particularly interested in the Active Directory Users and Computers and also the Computer Management icons (Win 2000 Server).

Any feedback is welcomed.

Thank you,
Joyce

2k server cannot be managed from a 98 computer. Use terminal services to emmulate the server on the 98 computer and then you will have access to most of the tools you would like to use (if one doesn't work check permissions).

Thank you for your response. I will try out the Terminal Services option.

What if I have a NT 4.0 Server -- do I need to start up any services or install something in order for me to manage the Win2000 domain controller?

Regards,
Joyce

As far as I know you can use mmc with Windows NT, however some of the functionalities are different. There are conversions between the two inherent in the 2k OS. I ran into problems with IIS snap-in from Win2k to a NT Domain Controller having different functionalities. It took a lot of scrounging around to figure it all out.
