How do I install active directory at Windows 2000 Prof?

[warik]

Dear all,

I have a computer installed with Windows 2000 prof. It use by multiple user, so I want to make 1 user only could open/run some programs, and can not run other program (even it already installed).

As far as I know, I have to use Active Directory. so... Can I install / use active directory at Windows 2000 prof? What should I do?

Thank you in advance.

You have to be on an active directory Network in order to get a snapin to run AD on Pro. Otherwise I would just create users and accounts on that machine and lock people out of those programs.

MSEDDE, do you mean I can not use Active Directory at W2K Pro?

The user using NT user Domain.
Should I upgrade to W2K Advance?

Thank's

On an NT domain AD is not possible. If the drive is NTFS formatted, you can use local security. just right-click on the file / folder -> properties -> security

On an NT domain, you can use NT policies to enforce restrictions. Also you can use Local Group Policies on the 2k machine.

But as mentioned, you can just set security on apps you don't want users to run (set their user ids to be denied access to the executable).
