Adding users in SBS 2008

So you added your users the old school way using Active Directory Users and Computers, now you want to give them access to their PC remotely. Only problem is they don't show in the SBS console. No fear, you can still add a user to the console after you added them to AD.
From the SBS Console-Users and Groups click "Change User Role" and select the radio button "Add user permissions or settings" and select Next. In the next window check the box that says "Display all user accounts in the Active Directory" to show users that do not appear in the window. Select the user you want to add permissions to and click the "Change user role" button. After the process completes the user will now appear in the console, along with that, other changes have taken place. The user is now in many SBS Groups including the RWW and Link group.
You can then edit the user account properties and add a computer for the user to connect to.
