Did you right-click and run-as-administrator? That has always worked for me.
And use the SP2 tools, anyway. Regards, Michael B. Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: George Wasgatt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 11:31 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: Vista and AD Users & Computers 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. http://windowsconnected.com/blogs/joshs_blog/archive/2006/11/21/installing-t he-windows-2003-administrator-tools-on-windows-vista-rtm.aspx ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~
