[jkoXP]

Im part of a domain, and i went into MMC console, and went to add a snap in, but i can not find active directory users and computers..... i could on 2000 pro.... or do i get the tools from the cd?

I think there is a very beta version for XP directory management tools. Try searching MS site, but natively it doesn't support management of AD.

I think...I'm just a plumber so I really wouldn't know. I just remember laughing profusely at the server guys who were pissed they installed XP.

That's correct Spidey.
There is a newer version of the Adminpak.msi on the MS web site that will work with XP.
It was beta the last time I looked at it, and it seemed to work ok. It's been a while though, maybe it went Gold...

how do i find it on their site?

Search Technet for the latest version of adminpak.msi

I've been using it on XP for a couple of weeks and it works fine.
You may have to register dsadmin.dll on your XP machine before it'll work however.

Last time I downloaded it it was in the 3rd Beta revision. Its available at microsoft's site, I just can't seem to find the link now. Anyway, it works fine with XP. I've been running it for a couple of months now.
