Using Usrmgr.exe with Windows 2000 Terminal Services on Windows NT 4.0 Domain (261099)

MORE INFORMATION

A Windows 2000 Terminal Services-based server can be a member server of a Windows NT 4.0-based domain, but User Manager on the Windows NT 4.0-based primary domain controller (PDC) cannot display the new User Account properties in Windows 2000. Windows 2000 contains dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) that make these properties available. The new properties are the TSConfig button, the Terminal Services profile path, and the Terminal Services Directory folder. If these properties are configured, they are applied when users log on to Terminal Services. If you used Windows NT 4.0, Terminal Server Edition, to install the PDC, these user account properties are available by using User Manager for Domains on the PDC. Otherwise, you must use the User Manager tool (Usrmgr.exe) that is included with Windows 2000 Server.

To run User Manager on a Windows 2000-based member server to view or modify properties for domain user accounts:

1. Log on to the Windows 2000 Terminal Services-based server as a user with administrative privileges in the domain.
2. Click Start, click Run, type usrmgr.exe, and then click OK.
3. If you receive the following error message, click Yes, click the target Windows NT 4.0-based domain, and then click OK:
   User Manager for Domains cannot be used to manage a Windows 2000 or higher domain, Do you want to select another Domain to administer?
   NOTE: This error message occurs if User Manager is pointing at a Windows 2000-based domain on the same network as the Windows NT 4.0-based domain.
   
   
4. When User Manager displays the user accounts for the target domain, double-click the user account that you want to administer.
5. Click Profiles to gain access to the Terminal Server Profile Path and Terminal Server Home Directory properties.
