New Remote Desktop Connection tool

On the subject of managing your servers, Microsoft recently released the Remote Desktop software to go along with the one that is built into Windows Vista. If you have Windows Vista you don’t need this but if you are using XP SP2 or Server 2003 you may want to download it and try it out.

This will also allow you to connect the operating systems below to Vista and Longhorn using the new Network Layer Authentication technnolgy 

Here is download links for Remote Desktop Connection 6 for various OS:

Windows Vista AdminPak

Updated here 

I've been playing more and more with Windows Vista and for the most part like what I see.  However one thing is killing me!!!!  There is no AdminPak for Windows Vista.  How the heck am I or you supposed to manage your AD environment without ADUC?  For the time being you can install Server 2003's AdminPak.  Go ahead and download the Windows Server 2003 AdminPak and install it.  For the lucky few that will be all you have to do. (2 out 6 attempts for me)If you are not so lucky there is more you can do by registering of the components.  Once it is installed go ahead and copy the items below and put them into a command prompt.  Just make sure you copy those with an account that has the appropriate privs.
