Im running a 2k server with Active Directory on it. I have installed the .net admin pak for xp on my machine and am trying to remotley administer the 2k box. When I try to connect to Active Directory Users or Groups and connect to the domain its giving me this error message: Unable to connect to the domain controller because: The directory service is unavailable.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Matt

I think you've got the wrong admin tools? .NET server is different from Windows 2000.
There is an installation program for Windows 2000 server on XP. You can download them from the Microsoft site.
