ADMT 3.1 and Windows Server 2008 R2

Posted by John Policelli on May 29th, 2009

I ran across a post on the Ask the Directory Services Team blog that mentions a known issue with ADMT 3.1 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The blog entry can be read here: http://blogs.technet.com/askds/archive/2009/05/22/admt-3-1-and-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx.

In a nutshell, ADMT 3.1 does not work with Windows Server 2008 R2. You will receive the following error when trying to run ADMT 3.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2:

ADMT must be installed on Windows Server 2008

This is the case if you upgrade an existing server, that has ADMT 3.1 installed, from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2 or if do a new install ADMT 3.1 on a server with Windows Server 2008 R2.

The post on the Ask the Directory Services Team blog states “Microsoft is aware of the issue and diligently working on a resolution. Please stay tuned for further details and updates.”
