I'm running W2K AD and have the W2003 admin tools installed on my XP
workstation. When I open (on my workstation) AD Users and Computers, then
open a users account properties to change their dial-in permissions, the
properties tab labeled "dial-in" is not there. I'm forced to termserv iinto
my domain controller (where I do see the dial-in tab) whenever I want to
enable/disable dial-in access for a user. I've already turned on "view
advanced features" and "view users, computers, and groups as containers" on
the MMC on my workstation, but still cannot see the dial-in tab. I've also
tried this on more than one workstation with the same result. Is there a way
to fix this?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Dial-in tab that configures Routing and Remote Access dial-in or VPN
access and callback settings is removed when the Administration Tools
package is installed on Windows XP clients.

To manage dial-in properties on the user account, use the remote access
policy administration model. The remote access policy administration
model was introduced in Windows 2000 to address the limitations in the
earlier dial-in account permission model. The remote access policy
administration model uses Windows groups to manage remote access
permissions.
