msi. Build to build upgrades are not supported. If you have not uninstalled ear
lier versions of the adminpak you will not get correct operation of some tools a
nd you will not be supported.
After uninstalling the beta 3 version, the RAS User Extension snapin tool does n
ot remove some registry entries. You will see an error message when loading the
AD Users and Computers tool until you manually remove these registry entries. Wh
en the beta 3 version of AdminPak has been uninstalled and this version is insta
lled you will still see the following error message:
"Snapin failed to initialize.
Name: RAS Dialin - User node Extension
CLSID: B52C1E50-1DD2-11D1-BC43-00C0FC31FD3 "
To correct this, you can manually remove the RAS User Extension registry keys, o
r cut and paste the following into a batch file (or .cmd file) called AP-fix.cmd
and run the AP-fix file to automatically remove the registry keys. This will p
revent the AD Users and Computers snapin tool from trying to locate the RAS User
Extension tool - the RAS Extension tool is no longer shipping in the AdminPak.m
si file. See KB article Q304718 for complete information.
WARNING - MICROSOFT RECOMMENDS THAT YOU BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY BEFORE DOING ANY T
YPE OF OPERATION THAT CHANGES THE REGISTRY
