Administrators everywhere have been waiting for these tools to land, and now they have – as part of a much larger release today, including Technical Preview 3 for Windows Server 2016 and System Center 2016.
The Remote Server Administration Tools (or, RSAT), include tools to remotely manage Windows Servers. This set, released today, allow even Windows 10 users to manage their servers.
Here's what's available:
-
Server Manager
-
Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins
-
Consoles
-
Windows PowerShell cmdlets and providers
-
Command-line tools for managing roles and features that run on Windows Server Technical Preview
Additionally, you should know that RSAT for Windows 10 CANNOT manage:
-
DHCP Tools. Dhcpmgmt.msc is not available in this release of RSAT, but equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.
-
IP Address Management (IPAM). IPAM tools are not available in this release of RSAT.
-
Network Policy Server Tools. The NPS console is not supported on a Windows client-based operating system, and will be removed from future releases of RSAT.
-
Routing and Remote Access Tools. Routing and Remote Access Tools that are GUI-based cannot be used for remote configuration in this release of RSAT, but the equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.
