Troubleshooting Active Directory Windows 2000 and 2003

I am writing this blog to share the knowledge that i gained while working on Microsoft Windows 2000 and 2003 Active Directory.

In my career of 7 Years only, i found some good information which is often very helpfull to all the Active Directory Administrator in the time of crises.
