active directory installation msi msu norton rsat toolbar upgrade windows 7 windows vista

📎 AI Summary:
The thread is about troubleshooting a Windows 7 upgrade and getting required admin tools working—specifically removing leftover Norton/toolbar issues, successfully installing AD Users and Computers via RSAT, and noting that RSAT components appear to use MSU packages rather than MSI. Key Q&A points are that ADUC requires RSAT to be installed/configured correctly (so the console becomes visible), and that the MSU “Microsoft Update standalone” packages are tied to Vista/Server 2008 and aren’t supported on XP. Overall sentiment is strongly positive: the original poster reports no major blockers after adjustments and expresses excitement at the outcome.

I've upgraded to 7 from Vista. I had to uninstall Nortan Endpoint Protection and had trouble with a Google toolbar that doesn't exist and couldn't be uninstalled. There was no way I was going to let that warning stop me for more than a few minutes so I installed and thankfully it is working. After the upgrade I can reinstall Nortan.

Today, I installed Active Directory Users and Computers. I had to get RSAT and modify its features after install to see the ADUC and I'm flyin' high.

I noticed that .MSI Microsoft Installer files seems to have been replaced by MSU files when I was installing RSAT. I see now that they are Microsoft Update standa-alone packages for Vista and Server 2008 and that these files are not supported in XP. Maybe this will prevent the 2008 platform files from being installed in XP.

Okay. I am jazzed.
