Introduction:<\/strong>
\n
\nRemote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) are an excellent set of tools for managing Windows Servers and Active Directory environments from a desktop machine.<\/p>\n

Prerequisites<\/strong><\/p>\n

Windows Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate Editions
\n Windows Vista SP1
\n Administrator Account on local machine.<\/p>\n

1. Browse to \\\\campus\\software\\ISS\\Public\\ActiveDirectoryTools\\WinVistaAdminTools you can also download the tool from Microsoft [x86<\/a> or x64<\/a>]<\/p>\n

2. Choose either the x86 or x64 version.<\/p>\n

3. Run the MSU File within the folder.<\/p>\n

\"RSAT<\/p>\n

4. When the install is complete you need to enable the RSAT Features. Go to Control Panel and select ‘Programs and Features’ > ‘Turn Windows Features on or off’<\/p>\n

5. Select the features you want to install and click OK.<\/p>\n

\"Features\"<\/p>\n

6. There are a number of fixes required for the RSAT tools in order to reveal missing tabs and speed up the operation of the tool. Choose \\\\campus\\software\\ISS\\Public\\ActiveDirectoryTools\\WinVistaAdminTools\\32bit\\fixes or \\\\campus\\software\\ISS\\Public\\ActiveDirectoryTools\\WinVistaAdminTools\\64bit\\fixes as appropriate and run each of the hotfixes as applicable to your chosen installation of RSAT (32-bit or 64-bit). Inside the folder named ‘FixMissingRemoteInstallTab’ you need to run fix_rsatXX (x64 or x86) – this registers dlls. Note that you will need to run the fixes as an administrator.<\/p>\n

9. The tools can then be found under ‘Administrative Tools’ in the Control Panel. You will need to right click and ‘Run as administrator’ if you are not logged on with your s-id.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
