>Some of our Windows 2000 Stations, but not all of them, have the 'Search
for

>However, even among those that do have that option, very few of them have

all

I

>Even if I have to do it station-by-station, where would I enable additional
>options for the search menu or configure the 'Search for People' option to
>talk to our Directory service?
>
>We have a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain (single-tree, single-forest,
>two DCs) with about 50-60 stations, all of which are Windows 2000
>Professional, and up-to-date with security fixes and patches.

cross-posting,
