Why in the world would you need to enable AD services?

The computer is telling me to be a domain controller to configure gpmc.msc. So i thought lets install it.

Do you know what a domain controller is?
reading up on gpmc.msc at Microsoft:
Download details: Group Policy Management Console with Service Pack 1
The Microsoft Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) with Service Pack 1 (SP1) unifies management of Group Policy across the enterprise.

I read it from some security website about user access. I googled Gpmc.msc and it said about it controling a network. So I done Gpmc.msc + Home use and after a while it came up. Originally Posted by johngalt

Based on the information I found in http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en you should get the GPMC version for Vista / Server 2008 from the 2008 tools. See tha part about RSAT....
