DIAL-IN tab missing from RSAT package AD Users & Computers snap-in
- The Active Directory Users & Computers snap-in that runs on Windows 7 as part of the RSAT package x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU is missing the DIAL-IN tab on user accounts that is present on the snap-in when run on a DC.
Is there a reason for this?
Cheers,
Mark.

Hi Mark,
Based on the research, on Windows 7 client, when we use Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in that is included in RSAT tool (x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU) to connect to domain controller, the Dial-in tab is not there. We have confirmed that this is by design in the RSAT for Windows 7, and our product team has been aware of this.
Currently, as a workaround, you may consider remote connect to the DC via RDP and then use the ADUC when you need to manage dial-up settings.
If there is any update, we will let you know as soon as possible.
Thanks for your understandings.

Another workaround is to copy/paste the required DLL's from a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2 into Windows 7.
Copy these from Server 2008 R2:
Windows\system32\mprsnap.dll
Windows\system32\rasuser.dll
Windows\system32\rtrfiltr.dll
Windows\system32\en-US\mprsnap.dll.mui
Windows\system32\en-US\rasuser.dll.mui
Windows\system32\en-US\rtrfiltr.dll.mui
Paste into cooresponding directories on Windows 7.
Run:
regsvr32.exe Windows\system32\rasuser.dll- file copy above only works for 64bit clients, so 32bit W7 no joy.
file copy above only works for 64bit clients, so 32bit W7 no joy.
Try this (I don't run 32-bit, or I would try it myself)...
Copy these from Server 2008 R2 to 32-bit System32 and System32\en-US:
Windows\SysWOW64\mprsnap.dll
Windows\SysWOW64\rasuser.dll
Windows\SysWOW64\rtrfiltr.dll
Windows\SysWOW64\en-US\mprsnap.dll.mui
Windows\SysWOW64\en-US\rasuser.dll.mui
Windows\SysWOW64\en-US\rtrfiltr.dll.mui
Run: regsvr32.exe Windows\system32\rasuser.dll- This looked so promising, I copied the files OK and regitered the DLL, didn't get an error about mismatched platform DLL. Started ADUC but still no dialin tab either. There is a flash like something has loaded and crashed really quickly, otherwise the tabs look normal.
