Vista, Domain Adminstration, & MMCs

That does not work!!

If I tell it to "Run as Administrator", it runs it as a LOCAL ADMINISTRATOR.

That does not help if you need to authenticate as a
DOMAIN\ENTERPRISE\EXCHANGE ADMINISTRATOR. Our new corporate policy is that no
one is allowed to run interactively (unless that is the only option) as an
Domain\Etc. Admin. This is "Best Practices" from MS!

So what is MS going to do for us? Make Admins run WinXP?

I am sorry if my tone upsets anyone, but I spent 8hrs today beating my head
into the wall today trying to get this to work!
