Hi Rummie,

Thank you for the posting. As you indicated you would like to administer
your 2K domain from your XP system.
You have already installed the windows 2003 server support tools, but AD
users and computers snap in didn't seem to come with it.

To do so, please install the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools

1. Open the I386 folder on the appropriate Windows Server 2003 CD-ROM.

2. Double-click Adminpak.msi to install.

The Adminpak.msi file installs the Active Directory administrative tools
and other administrative tools, including the Terminal Services Client and
Cluster Administrator.
