Exchnage General Tab, Exchnage Features tab not visible in DC.

Exchnage General Tab, Exchnage Features tab not visible in DC.

Hello everyone 

Hope some of you may be able to help me. I have installed a Windows 2000 
Server on our test lab called "CORP" and promoted to be the root of AD. 
Before I installed Exchange 2000, I ran setup /forestprep and /domainprep on 
CORP Server. Once this is done, I installed exchange 2000 server on the 
member server called “MAIL" the installation when smoothly, Now when I open 
Active directory users and computers on Corp Server (DC) I do not see the 
extended features on CORP Server, eg I can not see Exchange general tab, 
Exchange Features tab and e-mail address tab in user account, I can not 
create e-mail account for the user on CORP Server,  But When open Active 
Directory user and computers under Mail Server, I can see the extended 
exchange tab in the user account, I can create and delete mailbox for users. 

My question is how am I add this extended exchange function to the DC “CORP” 
Server? Much appreciated if someone could help me with this

First off, you really shouldn't log into DCs and manage users, you should do it 
remotely from workstations with tools loaded on the workstation.

Second, in order to do Exchange admin work, you need to load the Exchange tools 
on each and every machine you plan on doing that admin work from.

It is what I recommend to people, less chance of screwing up something on the DC 
  when you are doing daily work. I have always done the admin that way except in 
the special case of hosting environments where you have multiple orgs and they 
set up application TS machines for managing each of them.
