I am new to server 2000 and have been asked to setup user
accounts via Active directory. I have gone into where I
should do it (according to one of the books I have), but I
cant make it connect to the domain... I put the name of
the domain in and it says that its either not there or
cant access it. I am sure the solution is simple, but I
just dont see it. Thanks for the help.

J,

I am a bit confussed where you are. Have you created the
user accounts already ( in ADUC, er, Active Directory
Users and Computers ) on the the DC and are now sitting at
a machine and trying to log on as one of the users that
you previously created?

Or, are you sitting at a WINNT or WIN2000 or WINXP machine
and are trying to add a user account that you previously
created to one of the local groups on that particular
machine ( such as to the Power Users )? If this is the
case, is the machine already a member of the domain? What
domain name did you enter? With what user account are you
logged on to that machine? Is DNS correctly configured (
meaning, pointing to your internal DNS server(s) and not
to your ISP's )?

Please let us know.

HTH,

Cary
 
After reading your reply and talking to afew people around
here I think we need setup the domain before we can use
Active directory.... thanks for your time
