Active Directory for Dummies?

This is a discussion about Active Directory for Dummies? in the Windows Networking category; I've got a pair of Windows 2000 Advanced servers at work. Need to know how to do this active directory stuff to access the hard drives of the other computers in the office. Already tried the FAQ, but the links to the Microsoft FAQ's didn't work.

Try the online help first, and I would recommend getting a book. If you want it to work properly, then you will need to familiarize yourself with (D)DNS as well and most books from publishers such as Sybex and Wrox will cover side topics such as this quite well. Many people just try to "get it going" and wind up reinstalling it over and over again to correct problems, or they just watch the event logs pile up.
