Title: windows server 2003 adminpak
Post by: michaewlewis on June 24, 2009, 01:46:08 PM: Has anyone seen a server 2003 adminpak that works with vista yet? The only one I can find is 2003 or xp only.

Post by: michaewlewis on June 24, 2009, 04:11:02 PM: the lack of an adminpak for vista is the only thing keeping me from it. Otherwise, I like vista......

Post by: patio on June 24, 2009, 06:18:05 PM: I just searched the TechNet archives and did not spot one...
There is one available for Server2008 however...
Whether it works on Vista i cannot say...

I'm still not quite ready to make the switch to server 08, though. Not enough time to dedicate to testing and then for deployment. Hopefully sometime this year it will happen though.

I've thought about that, but I like having everything local.
I did find a workaround on technet for getting adminpak on vista. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/930056 I haven't read through the whole thing yet to see how difficult it is, however.

If your Vista already has SP2 installed, then RSAT won't install without a workaround.
