Can't view "Entire Directory" when trying to add Power User from domain

First off, let me say that I'm a teacher that has just been put in
charge of the school network in a remote native village. We are
running Windows Server 2000 - Active Directory.

I just added some new computers to our lab. I added them to the
domain using "Network ID" under My Computer-Properties. On those new
computers, I need to add some Domain users to the local Power Users
Group so that they can run certain software (typing programs, etc).
When I go to Computer Management-Local Users and Groups-Power
Users-Add, all that I can see is the local machine, whereas on the
other computers(that I did not set up) I see domain.port.com and I can
add domain users. What am I missing?

I might add that these new machines take a longer time to log on to
domain accounts then the others.

I would appreciate any assistance.
 
This sounds like you have DNS set up wrong on the computers with the
problem. They should point to the DNS server set up for the Win 2k AD
domain.
