No "dial in" tab when using Win2003 server admin tools under XP Pro SP1?

[Robert Gordon]

I've noticed that there's no "Dial In" tab under user's properties, when
trying to administer a Windows 2000 domain using the new Win2003 admin tools
on Windows XP SP1.

Should I just not be using the Windows 2003 version, and instead use the
adminpak.msi that comes with Win2K SP4?

That's super, but let's be crazy and pretend that I would like to have the
capability to apply that permissions remotely via the AD tools from a remote
workstation. Again my question remains, can this still be done by
installing the adminpak.msi from Wn2K SP4, rather than the Win2K3 admin
tools?

Ok,ok folks. After I read http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304718 I
thought there is a way to get dial-in tab back. Here are the steps you need
to take, to get dial-in tab on Windows XP with Windows Server 2003
Adminpack.msi:

1. Import following registy info (it is in dialin.zip file)
2. From Windows Server 2003 copy following files to %systemroot%\system32
folder
- rasuser.dll
- mprsnap.dll
- rtrfiltr.dll
3. open command prompt 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 unsuported way to do this and that you
are doing this on your own rish. But you probably already know that ;-)

If you have any problems send me an email and we'll work this thing out.
