dblight Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) So windows 10 Education installed nicely and configured, what a PITA it is without any RSAT tools? Surprising how much you come to rely on them. Hopping around all different servers is a right faff! Can't find any news on when they will be made available either, anyone any idea?

Arthur Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 A release of RSAT is planned for shortly after Windows 10 RTM. We apologize for the inconvenience. Source: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d0d3f8ad-aabf-40e0-95da-47624ae28328/rsat-for-build-10130?forum=WinPreview2014General
dblight Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah I saw this. Annoyingly vague...................
Homer Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Wasn't it Windows 7 that they did this with as well?
Michael Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 If you navigate to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions on Windows 10, then copy the folder to your Windows Server, this is essentially what RSAT will be when it's released, give or take any additional templates Microsoft may/may not include. Make a copy of your existing PolicyDefinitions folder on Windows Server first (just as a precaution)

dblight Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 If you do that you may have the issue described here... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3077013 I had this yesterday, reverted everything back for now. Thanks for the link! At least its a known problem!
RowlandoGloom Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 If you do that you may have the issue described here... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3077013 Ok you'll still have the issue in your link, but Microsoft have released a MSI containing all the ADMX files for all languages etc.: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48257 It'll extract them to your program files directory then you can copy and paste to the policydefinitions store. I've installed them and used Microsoft's 'workaround' too and they're working properly. Paul.
Arthur Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Ok you'll still have the issue in your link, but Microsoft have released a MSI containing all the ADMX files for all languages etc.: Already done it. www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-10/157685-administrative-templates-admx-windows-10-a.html
Arthur Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Yeah I saw this. Annoyingly vague................... Definitely this month though... https://twitter.com/GabeAul/status/630159064203309056 A new RSAT for Windows 10 will be released this month, along with Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview 3
dblight Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 RSAT has been released for En-US Language. Requirements state Pro or Enterprise but does work on Education. Obviously only if you change your language but its progress. Hopefully En-GB version is not to far away?? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520

edutech4schools Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between downloading the new policy files from MS or installing RSAT.
edutech4schools Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Or do i need to new policy files in order to use RSAT?????
