Ok, you need to have the Win2003 Administration Pack installed on your computer, makes things a lot easier. Also, it keeps you from having to log into your server everytime you want to do something, and you can just do it from your desk.
You need to setup a personalized MMC (microsoft management console) for yourself. After you install Win2003 Admin Pack, goto Run and type "MMC". This will bring you up a console. Go to File and then you can Add/Remove Snap ins from there. There is a great group policy editor that MS makes that I can send to you (that way you don't have to hunt all over the place for it). It's a snap in and makes things quick and easy.
You need to have an over all group policy that applies to everyone. This might be something like a computer lockdown policy, etc. The way I have our AD setup is like our company's organizational chart. I set shares and department directories via group policies (dependent on department). Things like permissions to shares and whatnot are set in AD.
AD isn't hard to learn how to use, it's using it to its fullest potential in making your job easier thats the difficult part.
Remember, I can send you the admin pak and gp snap-in along with a couple of other things of you wish.
