Now that Windows 7 is out, many Windows administrators need to be able to manage their IT environment such as the Active Directory. I am happy to share with you that Microsoft has released RSAT both for 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems:
The documentation that follows is OK, but I would like to give one tip of my own:
Most environments require (and should require) that administration is done using an administrator account different from the one you use to logon to your PC. Windows 7 will allow you to start “Active Directory Users and Computers” as your logon user or a local computer administrator. This should normally not give you access to using the RSAT tools. The trick is as follows: Use SHIFT + Right Click the mouse on any program. This will give you the menu option “Run as different user”. Enter you domain administrator credentials and you are done.
