problem returning correct data from a table when using count

first query return 24 rows:
SELECT DISTINCT   Employees.LastName + ', ' + Employees.FirstName + COALESCE (' ' + Employees.MiddleName, '') AS AttyName, Employees.EmployeeID,  EmployeeLocations.LocationID,DATEPART(yy, LMS_Class.DateTimeFrom)
FROM         Titles INNER JOIN
                      EmployeeTitles ON Titles.TitleID = EmployeeTitles.TitleID INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Student INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Class ON LMS_Student.ClassID = LMS_Class.ClassID INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Courses ON LMS_Class.CourseID = LMS_Courses.CourseID INNER JOIN
                      Employees ON LMS_Student.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID ON EmployeeTitles.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID INNER JOIN
                      EmployeeLocations ON LMS_Student.EmployeeID = EmployeeLocations.EmployeeID
WHERE     (EmployeeTitles.TitleID IN (4, 12, 14, 37)) AND (EmployeeLocations.LocationID = 40)
AND (DATEPART(yy, LMS_Class.DateTimeFrom) = 2005)

second return 136 (which is the total rows of the first if you removed the distinct

SELECT DISTINCT Count(Employees.EmployeeID)

FROM         Titles INNER JOIN
                      EmployeeTitles ON Titles.TitleID = EmployeeTitles.TitleID INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Student INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Class ON LMS_Student.ClassID = LMS_Class.ClassID INNER JOIN
                      LMS_Courses ON LMS_Class.CourseID = LMS_Courses.CourseID INNER JOIN
                      Employees ON LMS_Student.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID ON EmployeeTitles.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID INNER JOIN
                      EmployeeLocations ON LMS_Student.EmployeeID = EmployeeLocations.EmployeeID
WHERE     (EmployeeTitles.TitleID IN (4, 12, 14, 37)) AND (EmployeeLocations.LocationID = 40)
AND (DATEPART(yy, LMS_Class.DateTimeFrom) = 2005)


is there any way to return the 24 using count.

thanks
