System Requirements

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the full release of Windows 10 Professional or Windows 10 Enterprise. Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on Windows RT, computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.

 

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 runs on both x86- and x64-based editions of the full release of Windows 10, Professional or Enterprise editions. Download and install the version that matches the architecture of the computer on which you plan to install the administration tools. If you are not sure whether your computer is x86- or x64-based, see How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.

 

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 is available only in English (United States) for this release. If you are running Windows 10 in a language that is not English (United States), be sure that you have installed the English (United States) language pack before you install Remote Server Administration Tools. To install the language pack, on the Start screen, click Settings. Click Time and language, click Region and language, and then click Add a language. Click English, and then select English (United States). When you are finished, close the Settings dialog box.

 

IMPORTANT: Remove all older versions of Administration Tools Pack or Remote Server Administration Tools—including older prerelease versions, and releases of the tools for different languages or locales—from the computer before you install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10. Only one copy at a time of Remote Server Administration Tools can be installed on a computer. If you have upgraded to Windows 10 from an older release of Windows, you will need to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 on the computer; no earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools are still installed on a computer that you have upgraded to Windows 10.

 

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 includes support for remote management of computers that are running the Server Core installation option or the Minimal Server Graphical Interface configuration of Windows Server Technical Preview. However, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 cannot be installed on any releases or installation options of the Windows Server operating system.

 

Earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools (such as those for Windows 8.1) are not available--nor do they run--on Windows 10.

 

Server Manager is included with Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10; GUI-based tools that are part of this release of Remote Server Administration Tools can be opened by using commands on the Tools menu of the Server Manager console. To use Server Manager to access and manage remote servers that are running Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2012 R2, you must install several updates on the older operating systems. For more information about requirements for using Server Manager to manage remote servers, see Manage multiple, remote servers with Server Manager.

Odd..

Installed it but not seeing in in Programs And Features...

 

It didn't ask for a reboot, but wondering if it needs one?

It did for me. Once I logged back into Windows after rebooting the shortcuts were already there on the Start menu.

Mine has asked me to reboot but haven't done yet. Will find out in the morning if mine has worked or not.

Odd one here. Installed arsehat with no problems, everything works except - no DHCP. Looking in features it says it's installed but no shortcut has been provided!

 

From the download page:

 

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 can be used to manage roles and features that are running on Windows Server Technical Preview, with the following exceptions:


    DHCP Tools. Dhcpmgmt.msc is not available in this release of RSAT, but equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.
  • IP Address Management (IPAM) Tools. 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.

Strange. Installed but not getting anything in Add/Remove Features and nothing in the Start Menu...

 

Windows 10 Pro x64 - Tried installing multiple times with restarts too.

 

Anyone else having issues?

This was posted to /r/sysadmin the other day, https://www.stephendonaghy.com/?p=25 as a fix for the issue.

Microsoft actually mentions this on the download page. I guess not many people on /r/sysadmin read the system requirements? :)

 

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 is available only in English (United States) for this release. If you are running Windows 10 in a language that is not English (United States), be sure that you have installed the English (United States) language pack before you install Remote Server Administration Tools. To install the language pack, on the Start screen, click Settings. Click Time and language, click Region and language, and then click Add a language. Click English, and then select English (United States). When you are finished, close the Settings dialog box.

Also mentions this only works for Enterprise/Professional, anyone tried it with Education edition?

 

Doesn't look like it. It just flies through the install and says done.. Nothing there....

 

I'm really trying to work with Microsoft on this "education" version but I'm starting to get ticked off!

Installs fine on Education edition.

Install is a bit buggered.

 

To fix this, go to languages. Add English , then add US English, goto options and install the language pack for this. Move to primary language.

 

Re run the install for RSAT and it works fine. Then you can remove the US language.

 

Worked for me

Thanks seems to be installing properly now!

I've been playing with Win10 group policy settings after getting RSAT to install (same error as in Win8 and Win7, missing US English!)

 

All I can say so far is that Windows 10 group policy settings are woefully inadequate for deployment purposes.

- No (proper) management of Start Menu or removing silly unwanted tiles

- No management of Edge

- No management of lock screen, desktop or user icons

- Folder redirection no longer working correctly, or intemittently

- No management of metro apps

- Two control panels to manage? Settings and Contol panel FFS!

 

 

Its enough for me to abort any install of 10 just yet. After all the slagging off Windows 8 took for the same reasons I'm amazed MS have slapped a start menu and a crappy new browser onto Windows 8 and renamed it Windows 10. They had a golden opportunity to make a true Windows 7 successor and seem to have stuck with 8 with a few tweaks.

Still never got this working even with the above fixes.. not too much a problem but it's annoying. I wonder when they plan on releasing a finished RSAT bundle?

That's a pain. I'm assuming it downloaded "language-pack-en-us-win10-64.zip" and it had "lp.cab" within that?

 

Yup, also tried a 32 bit variant I got online just in case.

 

I've got a few more things to try first, though, which I think could be the cause.
