Advanced Features for exchange not showing in MMC

[gbl]

We use exchange 2000 server SP3 on windows 2000 server SP3 with active directory. Recently I have had to hide some users from the address book in outlook clients. I did this by going into the mmc for and selecting active directory for users, and selecting the advance features in the view menu of the mmc. Normally the Exchange advanced feature tab would then appear for a user's properties. Indeed it does for some of the users I have hidden, but for one user (which I must now unhide) the tab is not showing.

Any ideas as to why this might happen? I do not want to have to delete the user to solve this problem, but will I have to delete his profile?
Thanks!

Brendaluv - you need to have exchange system manager installed on the machine your using mmc to connect to with.

gbl, where are you running mmc from?

It's also a good practice to service pack the Exchange management tools to the same level as the Exchange servers one is managing.
