How to add dsa.msc to windows 2008 server

If you wanted to access active directory users and computers from a member 2003 server it was as easy as clicking start run then entering dsa.msc in the box and click open. That little useful feature is not added into a default 2008 server installation it needs to be added during the initial installation of the server or afterwards by adding a feature. The image in this post shows what options to select to add the dsa.msc command back into your member server. For people who use this a lot it's quite worth the several minutes to install. Adding the feature does not require a reboot.
