How do I add users to Active Directory? There's 5 users in there now. One of
them I added a while back is in there as well. I added 3 new users and
computers to the server and is well. Except they are not listed in AD. I
tried adding a new user and I get an error: user already in use in this
enterprise. The 3 new ones are in same user group as the others.

thanks!

Try looking in the "Users" and the "Computers" default containers, if they
are not there, check to make sure you haven't already moved them into a
different container/OU.

In regard to adding users to Active Directory, It sounds like you already
know how to do this.

Have you tried creating a random user account just to test?

Check out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938447 and see if that is what's
going on.

Some more information about your setup would help.

This is typically done via Active Directory Users and Computers (New/User
option from the context sensitive menu of a container where a user object
will reside).
Use Find... option from the same context sensitive menu (of the domain node)
to search for existing accounts...

Turn and "Advanced View" and then you can use the Object tab to see where the
object is stored.
