Exchange 2000 System Manager of W2K Pro

[cpuphantom]

I have a question about administering Exchange 2000 on a Windows 2000 Pro workstation. I have Exchange Server installed on a secondary domain controller.

I have the Admin Tools installed on my workstation and have administrator permissions so that's not the problem. I put in the Exchange 2000 Server disk and chose "Custom" for the parent, and "Install" for Management Tools. The result was that I did get a program group with "Active Directory Users and Computers" that works, and I got a copy of "System Manager." That part is good...

However, when I enter System Manager, I have only two things in the menu on the left: Recipients and Tools. And when I click on either of those I get the error: "An invalid ADSI pathname was passed. ID no: 80005000 Exchange System Manager" and then I immediate get a second error: "An operations error occurred. Facility: LDAP Provider ID no: 80072020."

Anyone else have a similar problem? Anyone know what I did wrong or am forgetting? Any help or comments are appreciated.

I figured it out... It had something to do with the permissions my user account had. I thought being in the administrator's group would be enough, but it seemed like I had to be in the Schema Admin's group... don't know why. Anyway, logging in to the workstation as "administrator" worked fine, and I almost got logging in as my own user working except I still get that damned "80004005" error when trying to view public folders... oh well...
