Why aren't the dial-up options available on my Windows 2000 domain?

 A. If you go to the Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, select User properties, then the Dial-in tab, you might find that the following options aren't available:  www.tartoos.com

• Control access through remote access policy

• Verify caller ID

• Assign a static IP address

• Apply static routes

• Static routes

These options aren't available when your domain is mixed mode instead of native mode because other non-Win2K domain controllers don't support the options. If you don't have any non-Win2K domain controllers, you can upgrade to native mode to enable the options. www.tartoos.com

I have noticed a bug in the Win2K Administration tools for Win2K Professional. If you have a mixed-mode domain, these options appear to be available, but when you try to select one of them, the system returns an error. ww
