I have a user that needs access to the Active Directory
Users/ Computers to reset domain passwords, however when
we installed the ADMINPAK and tried to run the snap-in we
get the following error message:

"Snap-In Failed to Initialize
Name: <unknown>
CLSID:{E355E38-...}"

He is a local admin and we have tried to remove and
reinstall the adminpak, but nothing seems to work. Any
help would be appreciated. I have three other users that
are working without incident.
 
That's not true. Again, other memebers of my Helpdesk do
not have Domain Admin rights, but they are able to run the
User/ Computers without any issues.
 
You mean to tell me that a Domain User with no Domain Admin rights can
change other domain users' passwords? Yeah, that would be very secure.
 
No, I am telling you that my Helpdesk staff can change
passwords without Domain Admin rights because of a
security policy allowing the Helpdesk Group to reset
passwords/ unlock accounts - nothing more. What I can't
figure out is why my one employee is getting this error
message.
