I upgraded to Windows 7 and needed to find out how to manage my AD groups & computers again. I recalled it was something simple like adding the snap in to Windows XP but it had been 2+ years since I had performed the console setup.
- Get RSAT for Windows 7. For whatever reason, Google does a poor job and Bing wants to give you the Vista versions. It's a hefty quarter-gig download
- Run the installer.
- Go to Control Panel -> Programs/Features -> Windows Features and turn on the parts of Remote Server administration tools you need (I had to ask people that did this for a living and read the documentation)
- Go into the mmc console and enable the newly enabled snap-ins
Now, my OU administrator can create a new group again!
runas /env /profile /user:domain\!ouadmin "C:\windows\syswow64\mmc.exe c:\ad\AD-Tools.msc"
