Important

• Do not use Active Directory Users and Computers to modify attributes of special users and groups, that is, users and groups with user identifiers (UIDs) or group identifiers (GIDs) of less than 100. If you do, the data returned by Server for NIS will be incorrect for those users and groups. Use the procedure described in "Using a command line" instead.

Note

• To open Active Directory Users and Computers, click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Active Directory Users and Computers.
