Active Directory GUI tools (AD Users and Computers, Sites and Services, etc) are installed on every Windows 2000 and 2003 server regardless of whether or not the server is a domain controller. When the server is promoted to domain controller status, the shortcuts are just added to the Start Menu. To launch the tools without the shortcuts (e.g. from Start>Run) you need to know the filenames of the tools:

  • Active Directory Users and Computers – dsa.msc
  • Active Directory Sites and Services – dssite.msc
  • Active Directory Domains and Trusts – domain.msc
  • ADSI Edit – adsiedit.msc
  • Schema Management – schmmgmt.msc

Note:- By default the DLL that supports this MMC is unregistered. To register it run “regsvr32 schmmgmt.msc”
