Might be a stupid Q, but: Where is the admin tools for domains? (AD)

[Rolf Barbakken]

Or is it simply a matter of installing from the Windows Server 2003 CD?

 

[Dale]

Option B - install from the Windows Server 2003 CD or download from
Microsoft. Same as with XP.

Fair enough, except that when I try to start the tools I just get this
message:

"MMC could not create the snap-in"

Bummer...

 

[Dale]

Yikes. Suddenly I think I remember seeing something about running admin
tools in a VPC with XP.

Have you tried tools from the beta of Windows Vista Server?

Dale

 

[Rolf Barbakken]

No. Longhorn? I think I have it laying around somewhere...

 

[Dale]

Well, they finally released the final (until further notice) name: Vista
Server.

Like in "Do you mind if we call you Bruce just to keep things clear?"?.

Its still called Longhorn on MSDN, so I'll try that.

Thank you for helping.

The current set of admin tools don't install or work under Vista. I would
bet a new set are under development right now. I have heard (but haven't
had time to test) that installing the old tools from the Server 2003 CD will
work.

It's not in there yet. The Admin Pak from Server 2003 SP1 will work, but there are a lot of dlls that need to be registered. There's a good write-up here:
