has anyone tried installing the 2003 server remote admin tools and gotten it to work on vista yet?
we are going to be pushing out vista in the spring after it is released to some people in our company and so i am in charge of testing it out and getting used to it until then so i can take care of that and train people. however, at that point and in the meantime until then i need to be able to manage Active Directory. I installed the pack fine but when i try to run Active Directory Users and Computers it says the MMC cannot create the snap-in. any ideas??
i was wondering if this is just something that isnt completed in this release yet or if maybe they are going to be releasing a new tools pack that is compatible in the near future.... any help would be great!

Snap-in's are tools that run with MMC arent they? If so then it looks like it is trying to open one that doesnt exist... have to tried removing the snapin's?

hmm i did try that i thought but looking more into it i noticed its showing everything AD related as not installed....the admin pack said that it was successful each time i installed it but must not have installed that part. i wonder if something isnt compatible with that component of the admin pack or something. trying to see if theres a way to customize the installation to try to JUST install that portion maybe
