Gary,

I am not sure that I follow what you are saying. Are you saying that
without any 'intervention' when you open up the Active Directory Users and
Computers MMC if you go to a user account object and double-click on it
nothing happens ( meaning it does not open up )? What happens if you right
click the individual user account object and select 'Properties'?

Further, are you stating that this is 'out-of-the-box' behavior?

I would suggest that there is something going on with your environment as
'out-of-the-box' behavior is that when you double-click on a user account
object it pops open. Same thing if you right click and select 'properties'.

So, let's look at your environment. Are you sitting at the DC itself when
doing this? At what SP level are your DCs? How many DCs do you have? Does
this happen on all DCs? Do you have your DCs in Terminal Services - Remote
Administration mode? If yes, what happens when you try via this method? Do
you have the ADMINPAK installed on any WIN2000 Pro systems? Are you trying
via this method? What user account are you using? What happens if you try
to open up another MMC, such as ADS, DNS, DHCP, etc.?

This is a starting point.

HTH,

Cary
