Vista - Windows Server 2003 SP1 Admin Tools?

I see that support for "installing" the W2K3 SP1 admin pak has been added in
RTM but I can't get many of the tools to work. All I get is "MMC failed to
load snap-in". Anyone have a solution or a different experience to share?

Regards,

Stuart.

Hello Stuart [MVP],

I just finished installing x64 RTM and I still get the MMC snapin error for
AD Management.

It works fine except I had to right click on the CMD file and choose "Run as
administrator" it must be an enhanced security feature. I am logged on with
enterprise/schema/domain admin credentials.

Yes, Even logged on with admin creds you will find if you do a "whoami" that
you have a deny on your admin token. This is by design and a feature of
User Account Control (UAC).
