Vista - AD Users & Computers Snap-In

I'm running Vista Ultimate in a pure AD (Windows 2000 & 2003 server)
environment.

I can't run the above snap-in under the Vista MMC. I installed the *.msi
for Windows Server 2003 and when I try to either run the shortcut under
Administrative Tools or try to add the snap-in into a newly created MMC, the
process fails saying it couldn't be created.

Is there a way to run AD Users & Computers from Windows Vista Ultimate?

RDP to a server with the snapin installed.

Shaaarp. That, however is what I've been doing all along so far. It still
didn't answer my question as to whether the built-in MMC in Vista can run
ADUC.

I did however find other posts indicating such snap-in hasn't been
developed/released for Vista yet.

Thanks for the input.
