I have used Windows 7 for 1.5 years at home and decided to upgrade my work computer also. My job involves domain administration and some programming. Here is a short list items that needed additional configuration to install correctly.
Using Windows 7 Professional, 32 bit
Active Directory Admin Tools
- Remote Server Administration T0ols for Windows 7 – After installing you must enable the features in control panel. The download site has all the details.
Exchange Server 2003 Extension for Admin Tools
- Exchange System Manager for Windows Vista – Extract the download package to a temp folder. Open cmd.exe as Administrator and run [TEMPFOLDER]\ESMVISTA.MSI /q. The /q suppresses the dialog box that tells you the install is not for your windows version.
Dameware NT Utilities 5.0
- During the installation you will receive some errors. Ignore them and complete the installation. When the install is complete open cmd.exe as admin is run: regsvr32 /s dwstdu.dll
Orion Solarwinds
- Manually installing Solarwinds Toolset Integration features on Windows 7 with Internet Explorer 8 – You can also disable UAC but I have become used to it.
