Security Configuration and Analysis Console

[Guest]

I have a single Windows 2000 Server which I have set up as a domain
controller for learning. I have come to try to use this console and follow
these steps:

1. Click Start, click Run, type mmc, and then click OK.
2. On the File menu, click Add/Remove Snap-in.
3. In the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog box, click Add.
4. Click Security Configuration and Analysis, click Add, click Close, and
then click OK.
5. In the left pane, expand Security Configuration and Analysis, and then
read the instructions in the right pane.
6. Right-click Security Configuration and Analysis, and then click Open
Database.

When I click Open nothing happens. No error message, nothing. There is no
File Open box.

If there is no .sdb file you need to create one and then select a security
template to use for analysis/configure. The link below may help if you have
not seen it yet. --- Steve

When I get to step 7 and click on Open Database nothing happens. There's no
dialog to enter the name of the new sdb file.

Make sure you are selecting "open database" and not just "open". If you do
that you should be able to add a filename to the list. If you are selecting
"open database" what happens? Do you get any sort of pop up windows as
shown in figure 7 in the link below? --- Steve
