  No AdminPak for Windows Vista
Time: 00:03 EST/05:03 GMT | News Source: Bink.nu | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Just wanted to answer a question here that I and my team mates have received many times...

"What's the status on a Server AdminPak version that will work on Windows Vista?  Are they going to have one soon?"

Initially, they were working on it.  However, the final word on the subject is: No.  Unfortunately not.

The recommendation is that you use Remote Administration (Terminal Services) to a server in order to do that work now.

Check out Brian McCann's blog entry on the subject.  He, too, laments the decision, but I think he describes the reasoning quite well.

I loaded the adminpak.msi from Server2003 SP2 (32bit) onto Vista Enterprise (32bit) without any problems. Can't say I've run into any functionality issues either.

I guess they don't charge enough for vista to cover the development cost.

TL (he says sarcastically)
