smorapcs asked:
What is the difference between Active Directory & Server Management in Small Business Server 2003 Premium Edition R2? What I mean by that is they both have spots where you can set-up users and client computers. If I set-up a user or client computer on Server Managment it doesn’t show-up on Active Directory nor does it allow me to create one under the same name. Which one should I use? I am new to Small Business Server 2003 and I am just looking for information. I am not even sure if I set-up my domain correctly? Plus is their a special way I have to set-up my server (Domain) so my Vista Business systems can connect to it? Thanks.

DO NOT USE THE Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) tool. Use ONLY Server MAnagement, unless you can’t for some reason. SBS is based on Wizards that run from Server Management. It’s designed to use them and those wizards configure things properly for SBS. IF you use the ADUC tool, you will not properly set things up even if you think you do.
