ON Windows 7 you don't need to install Windows Server 2003 Administrative Tools. There are new package for 7/2008/2008R2 systems. Download for that Remote Server Administrative Tools (RSAT) which have much more than 2003 Administrative Tools (but still can be used for AD management) and install on your 7 client. After that go to Control Panel and choose Tools which you want to use.<br />
