How can I manage my 2003 servers from Windows Vista?

Yesterday, Steve had a great question about locating a resource and he actually found his answer as I was traveling home. His question was about not being able to install the admin tools onto his 64-bit version of Windows Vista. In the past, he was able to open the Active Directory snap-ins on his XP client, and now that he is running 64-bit Windows Vista they are no longer working.

A. The administrator can use the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack to install the Server 2003 management tools on a Windows Vista computer in order to have remote server management capabilities. The steps to do this are noted in https://support.microsoft.com/kb/930056 . The only change on 64-bit is that you need to change to the %systemroot%\syswow64 folder prior to running the command.

Thanks for the question and answer Steve. We appreciate you taking the time out of your day to attend the discussion.
