Help I'm a Network Admin

[Archer01]

I just got promoted (Sort of) to the position of Network Admin for a small not for profit theatre company. I know hardware and individual PC's pretty well and I understand the basics of networking but I don't always know exactly how to do the things I want to or what the consequences are. Can anybody recommend any resources Web or otherwise that can help me? I'd love to find a networking equiviant of Tom's and Tom's community.

Also if anyone here knows or can tell me. Where do I go in a Windows2000 server that's set up as a domain controller to find a list of users who are logged into the domain?

Also how do you get Windows XP to log on to a domain? It keeps trying to run me throught the automated networking wizard but I don't see any options to log onto a domain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not sure where you're based, so I threw in that little extra. From a Brit's point of view, it's a great site, as it covers British stuff mostly, unlike here, which tends to be U.S. orientated, probably due to the majority of the U.S. members.

oohh, you gonna be busy

to view users/objects that are members of a 2k domain, on the 2k server, you need to find active directory users and computers from control panel.

is it xp home or pro? home cant join a domain as far as Im aware.

erm
you mean find out how many are logged on at that TIME, rather than members, I think I misread, not sure offhand, but looking at dhcp leases will give you some idea
