I have installed the Admin Pack for Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 downloaded from Microsoft Site on my Windows VISTA Enterprise Edition SP1 and until now everything is ok without making any registration.

I was able to get the AdminPak working by using a combination of the dll registering tip and running the install exe as administrator, after doing that, everything works great.

Nicely done! Worked perfectly on my Vista Ultimate Enterprise.

A batch or cmd file could be created to equal what’s written above and then run after the installation of AdminPack to resolve this issue.

Per Microsoft, copy the following text into a text file and rename the extension “.cmd” and you’ll have yourself a cmd file that you can pass around:

In Visita Home Basic, the Administrative permissions are now very limited, and many functions are either inaccessible or only indirectly accessible. for further remarks, see my comment to article: “Windows Vista guides for sysops and Bill Gates’ wrong prediction”.

Terminal Services Manager does not work for me.

Worked for the most part, but I cannot add a user. You get the error “The specified module could not be found”. So there is still something missing.

This is on Vista Enterprise.

It worked for me using the enterprise edition of vista and the latest adminpak linked above.

Thanks for the work man.

I’m not able to install it on 64bit Vista RTM. It doesn’t even run through the install wizard. It tells me “cannot install except for 32bit Windows XP or Windows 2003 server>”
