HELP Can't Get "Folder Redirection" on XP Pro SP1

[Roger]

I can't get past step one, from the "How to configure Folder Redirection"
section of "User Data and Settings Management" located at:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/XPUsrDat.asp

Can't find "Active Directory Users and Computers" anywhere in Administrative
tools.

To configure Folder Redirection:

1. To start the Group Policy snap-in from the Active Directory Users and
Computers snap-in, click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative
Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.

2. In the MMC console tree, right-click the domain or the OU for which to
access Group Policy, click Properties, and click Group Policy.

3. To create a new Group Policy object (GPO), right-click the domain or OU
you want to associate with the GPO, select Properties from the context menu,
and then in the domain or OU container's Properties page, click the Group
Policy tab.

From my MMC console, no "domain" or "OU" exists just a "Console Root". When
I add the "Group Policies" snap-in a "Local Computer Policy" tree is added,
but No "Folder Redirection" exists in any subtrees.

Is this because I'm not connected to a LAN. I am set up to share a few
folders with a seperate PC, but that PC remains off most of the time.

Many thanks for any ideas,

This feature is not available on Windows XP, it is part of Active Directory
which means you need Windows 2000 Server for this feature to work.
