Windows 10 Active directory users and computers missing tabs

Credits to jletellier

I'm assuming you guys are running Windows 10 1511. I ran into this myself. Looks like you need to use an older version of the RSAT tool. The current tool offered by Microsoft is version 10.0.14393.347
The version that is working for me is 10.0.10585.0
They don't seem to be hosting it anywhere and it's the same KB#.
I've made it available on Google Drive

If you are upgrading desktops to windows 10 and have a Cisco FW with VPN, you can use an alternative VPN client :

Hmm, nobody mentioned Shrew Soft VPN Client yet ? It's a free (as in beer) and cross platform VPN client that compatible with Windows 64 bit. Although free, but support from the author has been great. Currently it doesn't support hybrid xauth+certificate mode but the feature will come soon.

Setting drive security permissions

In the event that you do not have a write protection switch (they are less common on newer models) on your drive, you can set the and it's contents, and the flash drive itself, to be read only. This process is useful for keeping the contents of you drive safe from malware when you need to view them on a public computer.
  1. Open Windows Explorer by pressing the Windows key + E at the same time.
  2. Find the drive letter associated with your USB flash drive.
  3. Right-click on the appropriate drive and then select Properties from the drop-down menu that appears.
  4. In the Removable Disk Properties window, click on the Security tab. Under Group or user names: select Everyone and click the Edit... button.

  1. In the Properties window under the Security tab, you should see a section titled Permissions for Everyone. There are check boxes in the Allow column next to each type of permission currently granted to the Everyone group. By checking the Deny boxes next to permissions like Full Control, Modify, and Write, you are setting the drive and its contents to read only.

  2. To disable write protection, repeat these steps and check the Allow boxes.
