I am running Windows XP Pro with SP2, I have my server setup running as a domain controller, can I access active directory from a snap in? I hate going into remote desktop!
Cheers

Done it through a admin pack from Microsoft online

you can do it from any NT based pc that has MMC (all after NT4 do)

But I dont think you can get all the services as you would from if you where was at the machine :)

you can get the services.msc MMC alright.
but if you want server specific stuff you need to install the adminpack - that will allow you to create MMC consoles to server specific services.
