Hello,
Thank you for using newsgroup!
From your post, this issue occurs because the Administration Tools Pack is
not installed by a user who has administrative user rights. New security
enhancements in Windows Vista require elevated user rights when a .dll file
is registered. Therefore, Windows Vista security enhancements require that
certain snap-ins are installed only by a user who has local administrative
user rights.
To resolve this issue, register the Windows Server 2003 management tools on
a domain user account. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Log on to Windows Vista as a user who has local administrator
permissions.
2. Create the RegisterAdminPak.cmd script. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Start Notepad, and then open a blank document.
b. Paste the following code to the document in Notepad:
@echo off
REM RegisterAdminPak.cmd

echo.
Echo Command Completed
c. On the File menu, click Save.
d. In the Save as type box, click All Files, type C:\Users\
UserAccountName \RegisterAdminPak.cmd in the File name box, and then click
Save.
Notes
UserAccountName represents the folder name of the user who is currently
logged in.
You must run this script in Windows Vista only.
3. Run RegisterAdminPak.cmd from an elevated command prompt. To do this,
follow these steps:
a. Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation,
type your password, or click Continue.
b. At the command prompt, type C:\Users\ UserAccountName
\RegisterAdminPak.cmd , and then press ENTER.
