Can't see DHCP Scope and AD Question.

[Guest]

Hi,

I work at my company's IT Department and since yesterday, I'm testing Vista
Business (RTM). I do tech support and, as was the case when using XP, I
installed
the Windows Server 2003 Admin Pak tools. I have two questions regarding it:

1) When opening the DHCP tool, and adding a server, I can't see its scope.
When expanding the server tree, I'm only shown the "Server Options", nothing
else.

2) We have several domains, and when administering different domain's ADs, I
would do a "Run As" for the AD Users and Computers and run it with that
domain's admin. Now, when I shift+rightclick and choose "Run As", the app
opens to my default domain, doesn't allow me to choose with which user to run.

Thanks

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the pointer. I tried your script, but unfortunately the problem
with those two tools persists. Ran it as a local (am also domain admin)
admin, but no luck. Tried re-running after a reinstall, just in case, same
thing unfortunately.

I have loaded Vista RTM and have had an issue with the DHCP tool as well.
Same issue as Daniel. I ran the script to register all the DLLs, but the
tool still does not work.
I'm assuming these are known issues. Does anyone know if/when there will be
a good 2003 admin pak available that is Vista compatible?

Same here. I suspect the number of users experiencing this issue is larger
than just the few mentioned here.

Hi all,
This is known issue. This will be fixed in SP1 of VISTA.
Thanks
