Active Directory for Windows 7

[chivazo]

Have anyone been able to run AD management on Win 7? After installing the msi, I open the AD management console and I get an error on the right side that reads "Unable to create a snap in" Any ideas everyone out there?

Did you install the Windows 7 version from here?

You need to add the snapins from "add and remove windows features" in the control panel once it's installed

Thanks Ian, I am able to install it but can't add the additional features from control panel it gives me an error saying it can't install the additional software and prompt me to re-boot. Thanks a lot for the reasearch. For sure that't it. I guess that's why is a beta version. Bugs are expected.

MSI install

I found another article in regards to the installation you refered me to Ian. However, the article says that the software will not work on windows 7 yet. It was made for server 2008R2. I guest for now we have to wait and see if something comes up to be able to run AD on W7.

Help!? I have installed the proper program, but cannot seem to complete it in the Control Panel(CP). I have printed instructions to setup & complete the Remote Server Administration Tools(RSAT), but there's nothing of that when I try to turn Windows Features off and on.:dontknow:
