Windows Vista: Active Directory Users and Computers

If you're one of the lucky few who got to experiment with Microsoft Windows Vista before its official launch date to the general public, then most likely you are a System Administrator for a large organization. As such you most likely completely wiped out your best system so that you could install Microsoft's latest operating system. You spend a few hours configuring your new system for optimal performance. However, once you have installed all the essential software you happen to remember about installing Windows Server 2003 SP1 Administrator Tools Pack to manage your users and computers in your domain. Since Microsoft has created both the OS and the tools pack and has been pushing everyone to adopt their new OS you do not expect to encounter any problems upon installation of the package. At this point everything appears to have gone smoothly, but now you get an error message when you attempt to launch dsa.msc.

The error message is MMC could not create the snap-in.

You panic, don't know what to do, and feel like a fool for choosing to become an early adopter. However, lucky for us their is a temporary solution to the problem. For more information about this topic and a remedy to the problem mentioned above, please refer to the following links.
