After you install this, open Control Panel -> "start Programs and Features"->"Turn Windows Features on or off" -> scroll down to the Remote Server Administration Tools ->turn on the the features you needed, or just simplely turn on all features.

3. To fix missing tab issue of "AD users and computers":
Specifically, in Active Directory Users and Computers (DSA.MSC) when you looked at the properties of a user, you do not see:

Terminal Services Profile
Environment
Sessions
Remote Control

This is a known issue and has now been fixed by MS KB960890: "Some tabs are not available in the properties of a user account in the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in after you install Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on a computer that is running Windows Vista"
