AD Users & Computers

[Chris]

We have setup our Win2K AD Domain - and delegated control
of passwords user accounts etc to the Admin Group - but
how do I get the Active Directory Users and Computers
Icon onto client PC's??

Thanx

Install Windows Server Administration tool. Found at the location
%windir%\system32\adminpack.msi at the server. You can also download this
tool from http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads

Have a nice day!

Good morning!

Another way *might* be to install Terminal Services in Remote Administration
Mode on all of your DCs/Servers. This naturally is limited to two
concurrent connections. However, I really could not imagine not having TS
in RA mode on all of the Servers that I administer. Makes things really
quite nice as I can do a lot of things from home or another location where I
have Internet access.

The adminpak is a really good idea. It can even be deployed via GPO so that
your 'Admin group' will have this tool available no matter where they are
logging on..

HTH,

Install AD AdminPak and unless needed DELETE all other
functions of the admin pak (IE. DHCP, DNS, WINS, the
whole nine yards).

Good point. There is a line that you can add that will install very
specific MMCs. However, they should not have access to any of the other
MMCs if they have simply been delegated control of passwords.

Keep in mind that a user still has the ability to add any snap-in to a new console.

easy way..

copy dsadmin.dll from a machine with the adminpak installed into c:\winnt\system32 on the new P

go to a command prompt and type "regsvr32 dsadmin.dll
