Windows Server System news and real-world info

RSAT Available - Also Hyper-V Management

Want to administer your Windows Server 2008 servers (including Server Core and Hyper-V) without using Terminal Services? Microsoft just released the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Vista SP1. The links may or may not work for you... but here you go:

For anyone testing Hyper-V there is a separate download for that role (probably separate since Hyper-V isn't finalized):

Keep in mind these downloads require Vista SP1 in an Active Directory domain environment. If you have trouble with the links just hit www.microsoft.com/downloads - search for RSAT or Hyper-V and sort by date. They should be at the top of the list. Enjoy!

Does RSAT work with windows 2003 servers?

If by 'work with' you mean does it administer Win2003 servers... the answer is no. You'd still need to use the goodies inside Adminpak.msi to manage your 2000/2003 boxes. Think of RSAT like having a local copy of Server Manager (all the roles/features, etc.). That model doesn't map back to 2000/2003 in most cases - thus the need for two separate tool packs. Kind of a pain, but such is life. Cheers! --Jeff

Dear "A regular Visitor":

Thanks for being a loyal reader. Rest assured we're still here! Not sure about Josh/Aubrey/Matt... but my day job has been more like a day/evening job lately. Keep us in your RSS feed and hopefully you'll be able to speak of us being 'one of your favorite' in the present tense vs. the past tense ;)

Thanks again --Jeff
