That problem is mentioned in the article below. I've pasted a portion of
the article there as well. It should be corrected in a future release.
304718 How to remotely administer Windows Server-based computers by using
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304718
- The "Dial-in" tab that configures Routing and Remote Access dial-in or VPN access and callback settings is removed
when the Administration Tools package is installed on Windows XP clients.
To manage dial-in properties on the user account, use the remote access
policy
administration model. The remote access policy administration model was
introduced in Windows 2000 to address the limitations in the earlier
dial-in
account permission model. The remote access policy administration model
uses
Windows groups to manage remote access permissions.
Customers who use
the recommended administration model, named remote access policy
administration
model, can use the Administration package from Windows XP to manage
remote
access permission for users in Active Directory. Settings on the
"Dial-in" tab are not typically used for VPN or wireless
deployments. There are several exceptions. For example, administrators
who
deploy dial-up networks may use callback number. In these cases, use
Terminal
Services or Remote Desktop to access a Windows 2000-based or a Windows
Server
2003-based computer, or log on to the console of a Windows 2000-based or
Windows Server 2003-based computer to manage the "Dial-in" tab.
The remote access policy administration model has the following
benefits:
- Detailed administration
Administrators who
manage dial-in permission also must have access to the whole user
account. The
user account has many more security properties. In the policy
administrative
model, a separate group can be created to grant dial-in permissions,
and
permissions to manage access to that group can be granted to a
different
administrator.

I just noticed this today. We upgraded our server from 2000 to 2003 and, since then I haven't needed the dial in tab on a users properties until today, now it's gone in my MMC on my XP workstation - anyone know why? How to get it back or approve dialin access without it?
Thanks
