AdminPak.msi & Vista

I am trying to install the latest adminpak.msi onto Build 5308, but am told
it is not compatiable with this release. My goal is to be able to use the
administration basics (remote desktop, aduc, adss, etc.).

Is there a adminpak available that will run on Vista or a way to get the
present version to run on 5308?

Re: AdminPak.msi & Vista

Nah, 'fraid not. There will be a release of an Admin Pack after Vista is
released... but until then, you can still access most things using MMC. Type
"mmc /a" in the Run command and you can add snap-in's to the console.

What I did on my Longhorn Server, is simply make shortcut's to my remote
machines and stick them as a folder on my desktop. You can do this with the
command line "mstsc /v:IP" - replacing the IP with the IP of the computer
