XP Pro to 2000 admin pack - No "Dial-In" tab

Is there a way I can display the "dial-in" tab when I go into a user's
properties from and XP Pro box in AD? The only way I have found to do it is
to actually remote into, or be on the box with RAS running.

XP Pro Client
Native 2K domain

Thanks for any help!

Dial-in tab is not present on XP boxes using WS2k3 adminpack. This is by
design.

No, but you could use Terminal Services in Remote Admin mode to manage this.
You don't need to walk around servers for that ;-)

Very interesting.

I have a Native Windows 2000 Domain here.
I have a Windwos XP SP1 Client here.
Adminpak.msi from Windows Server 2003 CD is installed.
AND....

I have the Dial-in tab and i can configure everything, so maybe i've to
search for the error :-)))

You probably have dll's and registry entries for dial in tab on your system.
See my post (from today) on how to get Dial-in tab back. Have you used
adminpack from WS2k3 Beta ? I checked, and this tab was still present in
beta admin pack, but was removed in RTM.

I checked and the dll's are not in %systemroot%\system32.

The first step of your post you are talking about a dialin.zip? Where is
that? I looked on the 2003 cd and was able to find all the dl_ files but not
that zip. I copied the dl_ files over to my system32 folder and renamed them
to *.dll. however when I try and regsvr them I get an error stating:
c:\windows\system32\rasuser.dll is not an executable file and no
registration helper is registered for this file type.

Any help would be appreciated!

that zip file is my home made zip file :-). Copy/paste

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt\CLSID]
@="{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt.1]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt.1\CLSID]
@="{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\NodeTypes\{19195a5b-6da0-11d0-afd
3-00c04fd930c9}\Extensions\NameSpace]
"{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}"="RAS Dialin - User Node Extension"

into text file and name it dial-in.reg (beware of word wraps). Double click
the file to import settings into registry. Beware, that you must have some
knowledge about this stuff before you do this as you may harm your system.

What news client are you using ? Outlook Express. I can see my attachments
in my post ? to get dl_ from WS2k3 cd-rom, you have to use command
extract yourdll.dl_ yourdll.dll
and then copy it to Windows XP.
