Connecting to Active Directory Users,Groups,Computer on Windows 2000 Server

Is the 2003 server a domain controller in the windows 2000 domain?

Are you using the admin MMC tools?

The 2003 server is in the windows 2000 domain...it is not the DC.

In that case, unless you've logged on to the server as a Domain admin account and have added the Active Directory tools, then you won't be able to see any Active Directory details, such as accounts group etc.

However, you show really be running the Active Directoty tools  from a workstation, rather than a server.

Should you want to manage AD from the 2003 server you'll need to get the 2003 AD tools and install them on the server.

You can download the lastest tools from here:

I don't necessarly want to manage AD from the 2003 server...I just want to be able to select users and groups that are in the domain to have access to certain files located on the 2003 server over the network.  Does this still require me to install the 2003 AD tools?

Thanks for you help!

This will not require ad tools (which can also be installed using the c:\windows\system32\adminpak.msi)
is the AD users and computers snap in the problem you are having?  or are you having trouble enumerating users and groups from the domain when trying to set security?

I'm having problems enumerating users and groups when I'm trying to set security on a folder on the windows 2003 server.  When you go to lookup who you want to have access to it, the only list the shows up is the local users and groups and not the users and groups from the AD server (windows 2000 adv server box).  I tried to tell it to lookup from a different location, but the only server listed in the location is the local  box (windows 2003 server.)

I am having this exact problem, I have checked my dns and it looks correct but I still cannot access domain accounts when sharing  folders on the 2003 box. Any ideas?
Thanks
