Dial in Tab in "AD Users & Computers"

[Harrison Midkiff]

Hello:

I am using with WinXP computer. I have installed the special admin pack for
XP so I can administer AD. When I open "Active Directory Users & Computers"
I do not get the "Dial-in" tab. I have the view set for "advanced" but I
still don't get the tab. If I try the same thing from a W2K machine or
logon to the the DC I get the tab just fine.

Does anyone know what is going on? Thanks.

Hi Harrison,

This is from my post few weeks back about how to resolve this issue and it
works as several people confirmed it.

Here is the post.

I have seen this question asked a lot lately, so I went trough
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304718 and used reverse steps to get
proper dll's and registrations, so that dial-in tap can appear in users
property on Windows Server 2003 admin pack used on windows XP

Here are the steps:
1. Import following registry info (it is in dialin.zip file)
2. From Windows Server 2003 copy following files to %systemroot%\system32
folder on Windows XP
- rasuser.dll
- mprsnap.dll
- rtrfiltr.dll
3. open command prompt (Windows XP) and go to %systemroot%\system32
4. issue regsvr32 rasuser.dll
5. Now you should see dial-in tab on users property

I have to stress here, that his is unsupported way to do this and that you
are doing this on your own risk. But you probably already know that ;-)
