Inactive computers in Vista Active Directory

I have installed 2003 Server Admin pack on a Vista computer. However, when
viewing Active Directory computers, the inactive computers are not marked with
an X as in the Active Directory on XP. How can I mark the inactive computers
so I know which ones are which? I don't see any options for it on the
options menu.

Re: Inactive computers in Vista Active Directory

Are you running the Server 2003 'SP1' Adminpak updat which adds
compatibility for Windows Vista?

Re: Inactive computers in Vista Active Directory

Yes, I'm running the SP1 pack!
I have it on my XP computer too. I ran the script for adding the tools to
the start menu, and added them to my MMC. I just don't see any X's
on the inactive computers. I'm wondering if I should install the Admin Pack
from 2008 Server instead!?
