Active Directory User and Computers
"MMC could not create the snap-in"

Anybody get this working?
I've googled to no avail

I've tried the Vista fix, registering a bunch of DLLs, but that didn't fix it.

Bump. Wow, this must be unresolvable. Any alternative solutions? Currently, I'm remote desktop'ing into an XP PC, cause I need AD Users and Computers for work, but I much rather not have to do that and have something working on Win7.

have you tried this? Active Directory Error “MMC could not create the snap-in” - Techzonez

 

[Vinson]

Yeah, I checked my PC via that info, but no resolution.

I have installed the RSAT Tools on my Windows 7 Machine and created the ADUAC MMC console

I can access AD ok - but i have limited functionality - Cant change passwords, unlock accounts etc..

Now i have two account and normal user and an admin account. I have logged onto my PC has normal user but i have my admin account on my machine and the UAC set to automatically use the admin account.

If i try to run the MMC with my admin account it faills with an error

Has anybody else seen this problem?

Domain and Forest is Server 2008

Thanks

I don't have any issues with getting mmc to open, and able to add snap-in no issue. i'm i missing the point?

   Tip

First of all, you may better check errors as reported inside Event Viewer for resolving Active Directory and related issues...

I can create the MMC and add ADUAC - when i go in i cannot perform all Admin type tasks - change password/unlock accounts etc..

I have tried running as different user (Domain Admin account) and also as my normal user account and my admin account on my laptop

?

HOWEVER...

If i search AD for a user account and right clikc Reset Password - i can reset password there and also Unlock account??

I can do those just fine using MMc.

When i Ran As Different User and entered my Domain Admin account it failed - this was due to my Domain Admin account not having permissions on the MMC - even though my Domain Admin account was added to my Local Administrators Group which did have Permissions to the MMC

Tested this with a different Domain Admin account which failed also..

Anyway - added my Admin account and it works fine

You have to use a domain account with privileges to do those tasks. You cant use a local admin account thats just on your local computer and think it will work.

I was using a Domain admin account to run AD - and that account was part of my Local Admin group - which was specified to run th MMC - but it was not running correctly

I had to add the Domain admin account to the Security permissions of the MMC so it would run - even though my Domain Admin account was a member of a group which had the correct permissions to run the MMC

With me..

I can change password/unlock account ets. I just don’t have all the tabs in the properties windows. Dial-in and Live Communicator are two that I have to go back to my Visa computer to get to.
