Is there a way to manage users from a XP workstation connected to the domain?
In NT there was a way, but how about with Windows 2000 running active
directory.

More about : managing users workstations

John,

What do you mean by 'manage users'?

You could 'manage' them by using Restricted Group GPO.

Or, do you mean manage your domain from a workstation? You know, so that
the ADUC is available on that workstation so that you could create user
account objects and do other Adminesque-type activities. If that is the
case then you would simply install the ADMINPAK on that workstation. You
would also want to do a custom install of Exchange to install the Exchange
Management Tools ( okay, I have forgotten what it is called!!!! ) and then
install the Exchange Service Pack.

Does this help you?

You could add the Admin tools as well

Install disk

Support tools
d:\support\tools\setup.exe

Administrative tools
d:\i386\adminpak.msi

If you want to do AD tasks from a XP computer you need to install the
ADMINPACK from Windows 2003. It is not possible to install the
adminpak from w2k on xp. The adminpak is downloadable from:

Xp can use the 2003 if that is Available. Or do as Jorge suggests.
