Hi
Vista uses the newer RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) designed for Server 2008.
Most of these tools, such as:
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Tools
Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) Tools
Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) Tools
DHCP Server Tools
DNS Server Tools
Group Policy Management Tools
Network Load Balancing Tools
Terminal Services Tools
Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Services Tools
All work on Server 2003. There was a short period of time after the Vista Service Pack 1 was released where the SP1 installation removed some of the server admin tools, prior to the release of the new RSAT.
Here are some links that will get you up to speed on these new tools.
