Active Directory & Server Managment?

thamora3 · 03-08-2008, 07:05 AM

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 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 set-up my server (Domain) so my Vista Business systems can connect to it? Thanks.

Server Management is just a front end for active directory or anything else that came with SBS server. Any changes in Server Management should show up in Active Directory. As for Vista see if this is your issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926505
