  Important: When using Windows Vista or Windows 7 64-bit operating systems, you may experience problems when trying to perform some operations on Active Directory objects, such as creating objects or viewing object properties. When the Microsoft RSAT tools are installed on Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit, the adprop.dll.mui and dsadmin.dll.mui files are not installed and these files are needed by Active Administrator. Please see the ScriptLogic Knowledge Base and Solution Center for instructions on how to locate and copy these files to the correct location.

  • Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) must be enabled on the computer running the Active Administrator Console.
