I've just inherited a Windows 2000 network at a high
school. When I try to open Active Directory Users and
Computers on one of the domain controllers I get the
following error:

Naming information cannot be located because:
Library not registered
Contact your system administrator to verify that your
domain is properly configured and is currently online.


It works fine on the other two. Anyone have any ideas? TIA

Hello Mike,

Create a registry file with the contents noted below and
import it into the affected DC's registry. That should
take care of it, but if it doesn't, you should try using
regtlib.exe to reregister activeds.tlb. Have a good
weekend,

Hi John,

This worked. I did have to do both but it is now working.
Thank you very much!
