How do I add/manage user accounts remotely with Windows XP Pro? I have
never had a problem doing this with Windows NT/2000. I just used User
Manager for Domains. The thing is I have one older Windows 2000 box I'm
using as a file server, and I want to manage user accounts and files
remotely from my Windows XP Pro box. I am able to manage files, shares, and
security ok thanks to good old File Manager, but how do I manage users?
User Manager for Domains (Win 2000 resource kit) doesn't work.

Thanks,
Steve Coan
 
There are at least a couple ways. You can use Computer Management and select
action - connect to other computer specifying the remote computer name or IP
address and if the remote computer is running Windows 2000 Server you can
configure Terminal Services to run in Remote Administration Mode on it and
access and manage the remote computer that way. --- Steve
 
Thank you!

I used Computer Management and connected to the \\computer. Seems to be
working great.
