Active Directory Users and Computers in 64 bit Vista

I have Vista 64 and I want to install AD Users and Computers like I did in
32 bit XP
How can I do that?

Download and install
Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows Vista
from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

(32 or 64 bit Vista does not matter)

I downloaded Windows6.0-KB941314-x86_en-US.msu
I get the error message
The update does not apply to your system

I found a 64 bit version
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Silly microsoft

I got it installed but I don't get it
I found Administrative Tools, but there is not Active Directory Users and
Computers?
In the help file it says to load it into the MMC but AD users and computers
is not listed in the MMC

What am I missing?

You may need to enable the tools in the "Turn Windows features on or off"
menu under "Programs and Features."

Why does Microsoft have to make it so complicated?

Win Server 2003 and so forth) you do not have an "Active Directory".
