My new PC has Vista on it and no surprise I'm having some issues with it. I loaded ADMINPAK.MSI from a 2003 R1 server CD and now I can't start any of the AD tools. I ran MMC and tried adding the AD snap-ins but I get the error message: MMC cannot initialize the snap-in. I can run other snap-ins, just not the AD ones. Is there a Vista version of ADMINPAK.MSI? I tried the fix specified here (re-registering the DDLs) but it didn't help.
