AD tools for Vista?

I've installed the Server 2003 Administration tools on a Vista 64
laptop. Followed several tutorials online on how to get this to work,
registering the necessary .dlls, etc. When I can get the mmc plugins to
run, which is rare, I can connect to my domain controllers but any
changes I make are not saved on the server.

This is a required functionality for so many network admins, there must
be a solution to this.

What generally happens at this point is when I start one of the Ad
plugins, such as Users and Computers I receive the following error from
the Visial C++ Runtime Library-

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual
way.

No other details or options. Just that nearly useless bit of info.

Any suggestions?

Microsoft renamed the adminpak for Vista to RSAT (I know, who would have
guessed they might do something like that?).

For the 64 bit version See:
