SYMPTOMS
When you try to import data from the Microsoft Windows Active Directory, you may receive the following error message:

Microsoft Active Directory is not installed. To continue, please select another data source.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if you are using Microsoft Visio on a Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me)-based computer.

The issue occurs because Windows Millennium Edition (Me) does not include the Active Directory Client Extension product for use with the Microsoft Windows 2000 Active Directory service.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, install the Active Directory Client Extension on the Windows Millennium Edition (Me)-based computer.

Although Windows Millennium Edition (Me) does not support the Microsoft Windows 98 Active Directory Client Extension, nor does it include the more advanced features that are available in Windows 2000 Professional, you may be able to install the Active Directory Client Extension on a Windows Millennium Edition (Me)-based computer for testing purposes.

Note Microsoft provides this workaround for advanced users who regularly test unsupported software configurations.
