It’s good to try to stay ahead of the curve. Windows 10 admin tools or Administrative Tools is the collective name for several advanced tools and are probably one of the most handy features for any. We’re watching these releases closely as we’re working on certification of our platform on Windows Server 2016 despite the fact that for most IT groups implementation of 2016 might be several years away.

Good news though, last week on Twitter VP at MIcrosoft Gabriel Aul announced RSAT for Windows 10 would be released sometime this month (August 2015) along with Windows Server 2016 technical preview 3.

RSAT helps alleviate the challenge of sysadmins juggling shared usage of servers to get their jobs done. While Microsoft released a technical preview back in January, this won’t work with the Windows 10 RTM. Remote Server Administration Tools have been around since the Windows Vista days and replaced the Administrative Tools pack (Adminpak) that came before it, allowing sysadmins to manage various server roles and features directly from a desktop OS. This is the Windows component that gives such useful AD utilities such as “Active Directory Users and Computers”. As we work with Active Directory, we did so knowing that the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 10 had not yet been released. Here at Web Active Directory some of our engineers have taken their machines to Windows 10 with the same spirit. The installs take less drive space than Windows 7 or Windows 8. It’s also fun to have the “freshness” that comes with using something new. They all went off without a hitch and I’m enjoying the new functionality and the fact that it’s free. With these tools, your server management is secure and you can easily manage your roles and. These features facilitate server monitoring and management.

As an example, run the following command in an elevated command prompt to install the RSAT Group Policy Management Tools, RSAT Active Directory Domain Services and Lightweight Directory Services Tools and RSAT DNS Server Tools.

I’ve had a great experience at home with Windows 10 upgrading 3 of my home computers that perform various functions. The RSAT tools for Windows 10 package contains the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in, Server Manager, Hyper-V, Command-line tools, Windows PowerShell cmdlets features among others. Alternatively, RSAT tools can be installed using the built-in Windows DISM tool.
