Sunday, August 31, 2008
If you haven't found out, the Windows Server 2003 Admin Pack does not work on Vista. This can be annoying for sys admins that aren't lucky enough to have Server 2008 installed everywhere. Luckily, there's a quick fix
- Download and install the Server 2003 Admin Pack
- Copy and and paste the following code into notepad and save it as "Adminpackfix.cmd" or something like that
- Run the script as administrator and you're set
