How can I manage a domain with the "Active Directory Users and Computers" from a computer that is not on that domain? I realize I'll need some domain admin (or less) credentials, but that's fine.

I have 2 scenarios where I'd like to do this:

  1. From a machine on Domain 1 but I'd also like to manage Domain 2 (the 2 domains are in no way related)
  2. From a laptop that is not a member of any domain.

If we can figure out #2, that will be "good enough" but #1 would be nice too.
