Active Directory user problem
I had 2 servers. One Windows 2003 and one windows 2008 R2. The windows 2003 server was managing users. I thought I proceeded correctly to remove it from the network.
The old Windows 2003 server is no longer available
I am having a problem where I need to reset the password of a user. The user is not visible in the Active Driectory > Users. I can see the user with DSQUERY USER, but that Is all.
When I try dsmod user for the password (-pwd) I get object not found.
When I try to add the user in Active Directory, it already exists.
Can anyone help me figure out how to resolve this AD issue??
I need to be able to see all the users, so I can manage them. How can I import my users in the Admin Tools > Active Directory > Users and Computers so that I can edit them?
