Thanks for the information with this new RSAT, just today I applied onto my computer and finally I have access to Active Directory User and Groups, but please take a note that the tab of Dial-in is not available, I dont know why because on Windows Vista with adminpack you can access to the tab of Dial-in
So at this momento RSAT for Windows 7RC I can access to AD (Windows Server 2003)

Hi: Well I look the information that you give me, but I found that is related to Gateway Services on Windows 2003, and maybe I explain wrong. This is the issue: When you use the tool to administer Active Directory and look for a user account and click Properties , the tab of Dial-in is missing, the others tabs are present like Group Membership, Account, Environment and so on, but Dial-in I dont know what happend with this. When I have Windows Vista I can use the Active Directory and access this tab of Dial-in. Any suggestions will be welcome, meanwhile when I need to access Dial-in I used Remote Desktop to connect to the server and check-out the permission.

I wonder if I've missed a configuration option or if perhaps there is a tweak(s) I can perform in Windows 7 to get the Active Directory Users and Computers to have the same functionality as the one we run under Windows XP?

I know there have been many comments about missing tabs in the RSAT and those missing tabs seem to continue to be missing in Windows 7. Under Vista, there was some 'hack' you could perform to get some files from a 2008 server and register some files, etc. to get this functionality back, but that doesn't appear to work under Windows 7.

Currently the below tabs are missing.

For computers:
- Dial-in

For users:
- Dial-in
- Terminal Services Profile

We use the Dial-in and Terminal Services Profile tabs on a daily basis. Is there a way to get these tabs to show up in the ADUC of Windows 7 RSAT? If not, then I'm thinking it pretty much means we have to continue using a Windows XP workstation to run ADUC.

Thank you.

Did you ever get this figured out? I need to get the Dial-In tab to appear also.

Okay, so this is not really an issue with RSAT on Windows 7, but rather RSAT on either Vista or Windows 7, correct? I have RSAT on my Vista machines and there is no Dial-in tab or Terminal Services tab, just as described above.

I used an option that worked for me in WinXP but seems to work as well in Windows 7 (RC)

First create a batch file with the following content.

cd /d %SystemRoot%\System32
copy \\yourDC\Admin$\System32\mprsnap.dll *.*
copy \\yourDC\Admin$\System32\rasuser.dll *.*
copy \\yourDC\Admin$\System32\rtrfiltr.dll *.*
regsvr32 rasuser.dll

regedit /s dialin.reg

Then create a registry file with below content called dialin.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt]
@="" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt\CLSID]
@="{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt.1]
@="" 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\RasDialin.UserAdminExt.1\CLSID]
@="{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MMC\NodeTypes\{19195a5b-6da0-11d0-afd3-00c04fd930c9}\Extensions\NameSpace]
"{B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C04FC31FD3}"="RAS Dialin - User Node Extension"

Then run the batchfile with Admin Rights!!

Let me know if this works

One reason you can get that message is that you already have it installed.

Try opening Control Panel\Programs and features, and clicking on "Turn Windows feeatures on and off". See if the features you want are available.

Hi,

if you have installed Windows 7 / 64 bit you must install the downloadfile "amd64fre_GRMRSATX_MSU.msu".

I've been fighting this RSAT "update is not applicable" issue as well. Most info I've found says to uninstall and reinstall (which you can't do if you never had it installed) or it is recommended that your remove specific update, which is not installed.

RSAT and variants of the name do not appear in the Add/Remove Program list nor in the Windows components list. The following updates are the only ones listed as installed:
KB973540
KB972260
KB970858
KB970789
KB970421
KB973346
KB972636

This is on the 32bit version. win7, build 6.1.7100

Downloaded and redownloaded the file, tried both the x86 and the x64 versions of the install just to make sure.

To everyone running build 7100 - that is the RC version of Windows 7. These tools will only install on the RTM version of Windows 7.

Can anybody confirm this? Based on the first post by Ronnie it is RC and not RTM.
