Server 2003 - Users & Groups Not Showing Up In Computer Management
Have a Server 2003 box on a domain, and am not seeing Users & Groups within the Computer Management interface. How can I turn this on? this is an older server and was provisioned before I arrived here and I don't seem to have much luck with this thing...and it is a DC! I've attached a screen shot of what I am referring to...

Odd....I'll check again, but believe I have another peer DC in which I can get to it. If I can't login to it using domain creds, I cannot login locally using the Administrator account?
You do not have a local admin account on a DC. It is a domain controller and therefore has a domain account. Any other member server will allow local login through a local or domain administrator account but as soon as you make it a DC, you lose the SAM adatabase and in effect the local admin account is the domain admin account.
Hope that helps
