Exchange tabs in ADUC on Vista 64 bit

#1 08-18-2008, 04:29 PM

Hello All:

My workstation is Windows Vista 64 bit (I do not have a choice). I have
install Adminpak to administer Active Directory from my workstation, but I
wanted to have the Exchange tabs for the user objects in AD ( as I used to
have on XP wokrstation), so I copied all the required Exchange .dll(s) from
our Exchange Server 2003, and when I tried to register by regsvr32
\windows\system32\maildsmx.dll, I am getting the error "The module
"c:\windows\sustem32\maildsmx.dll" failed to load". Does anybody have a fix
for this problem. It would really be convenient for me if I could see the
exchange tabs for my user accounts.

ciao.

You could use a terminal services session to a 32-bit machine. Or you could
run a copy of 32-bit Vista or XP in a virtual machine.

Well it looks like you MAY be in luck.
MS released an ESM for Vista today.
However it doesn't speak to whether it is 32 or 64 bit. Give it a shot!

I first have to get rid of Outlook mapi client before I can install this
software, what a bummer. Thanks for your help Martin.

Wow. Well I'm sure that's going to work out well for everyone who wants to
run ESM on their Vista machine!
