RSAT — Remote Server Administration Tools для меня лично стали незаменимыми с момента их выпуска компанией Microsoft. После того, как я наткнулся на проблему невозможности установки их на Windows 7 с предустановленным Service Pack 1 — пришлось уточнить в гугле, действительно ли Microsoft не сделали их поддержку в этом крупном обновлении? Официальный ответ — «ждите апреля». Тогда я наткнулся на статью об интеграции этого полезного набора средств — примечание переводчика.
Эта статья представляется как черновая. Используйте ее только для экспериментов. Никаких гарантий, что у вас заработает все то, что тут написано
Когда вы пытаетесь установить RSAT на Windows 7 SP1 — вы получаете ошибку:
"This update is not applicable to your computer"
В Microsoft это комментируют следующим:
Еще рано!
Я нашел способ как это обойти на блоге MS и напишу об этом:
Если у вас x64 Windows, замените в командах «x86» на «amd64».
- распаковываем установщик RSAT x86fre_GRMRSAT_MSU.msu в каталог d:rsat
- Запустим распаковщик CAB:
expand -f:* "D:RSATWindows6.1-KB958830-x86.cab" "D:RSATexpand" - Скачиваем Service Pack 1 для Windows 7
- Распаковываем его командой:
windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe /X:D:Sp1в каталог D:Sp1
- Распаковываем CAB сервис-пака:
expand -f:* "D:Sp1windows6.1-KB976932-X86.cab" "D:RSATsp1"в каталог D:RSATsp1.
- Устанавливаем компоненты RSAT следующими командами по одной (смотрим в TaskManager окончание процесса pkgmgr):

Привет всем! Меня зовут Ro8 и в сегодняшней статье мы выполним установку Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 (SP1) на машину с Windows 7 и поуправляем некоторыми ролями на машине с Windows Server 2008 R2.
Установка Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7
То есть в итоге мы имеем следующее:
Машина с Windows Server 2008 R2, является контроллером домена exityrwed.com
Машина с Windows 7 является членом домена exityrwed.com
В сегодняшней статье мы выполним установку Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 (SP1) на машину с Windows 7 и поуправляем некоторыми ролями на машине с Windows Server 2008 R2
Переходим по адресу
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7887
и скачиваем Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 (SP1)
Так как версия Windows 7 у нас 32 разрядная, скачиваем файл Windows6.1-KB958830-x86-RefreshPkg.msu
Скачанный установочный файл Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 (SP1) для 32 разрядных Windows 7. Запускаем данный файл и выполняем установку
Соглашаемся с лицензионным соглашением
Установка завершена
Запускаем панель управления и выбираем Удаление программ
Включение и отключение компонентов Windows
Ставим галочки напротив нужных компонентов и нажимаем OK
Процесс добавления выбранных компонентов
После добавления компонентов снова переходим в Панель управления и выбираем Администрирование
Запустим оснастку Active Directory Users and Computers
Перейдем в папку Domain Controllers и видим, что машина с Windows Server 2008 R2 (имя машины Server01) является контроллером домена exityrwed.com
Так же мы можем подключиться к DNS серверу на машине с Windows Server 2008 R2, выбрав оснастку DNS
Вводим имя машины, то есть Server01 и нажимаем ОК
Как видим, мы подключились к DNS серверу на машине с именем Server01
Набор утилит Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) позволяет администраторам удаленно управлять ролями и функциями сервера Windows Server 2008 R2 с компьютера под управлением Windows 7.
Он включает в себя поддержку удаленного управления компьютерами под управлением Server Core или полноценного сервера Windows Server 2008 R2.
Установка RSAT осуществляется в 2 этапа:
- Собственно установка дистрибутива RSAT (где его взять я уже описывал в статье о включении Windows в домен AD, на всякий случай напомню http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7d2f6ad7-656b-4313-a005-4e344e43997d&displaylang=en)
- Активация функций и консолей (оснасток) RSAT.
Шаг 1. Установка RSAT
wusa Windows6.1-KB958830-x86.msu /quiet (x86)
wusa Windows6.1-KB958830-x64.msu /quiet (x64)
После установки пакета RSAT, который содержит большинство необходимых администратору утилит и оснасток, они будут доступны в панели управления (Programs & Features — Windows Features).
Шаг 2. Включаем оснастки и функции RSAT
Различные функции пакета RSAT можно активировать с помощью утилиты командной строки (CLI), которая называется DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management), ее использование полностью аналогично процедуре включения/выключения функций и ролей в Windows Server 2008 R2 Server Core.
DISM позволяет перечислить, установить, удалить, настроить или обновить функции и пакеты в образе системы Windows. Список доступных команд зависит от того, в каком режиме работы находится система: offline или online.
Чтобы получить список всех доступных функций, наберите в командной строке:
dism /Online /Get-Features
Чтобы активировать ту или иную функцию, воспользуйтесь командой:
dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:<FeatureName>
Например:
dism /Online /Enable-Feature:RemoteServerAdministrationTools
dism /Online /Enable-Feature:RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Roles-DHCP
Ниже я приведу полный список имен функций, доступных в RSAT
| Названия функций:
RemoteServerAdministrationTools RemoteServerAdministrationTools- RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Roles
RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Features
|
Набор утилит RSAT в Windows Server 2008 R2 и Windows 7также позволит вам осуществлять удаленное управления серверами (работающий под управлением Windows Server 2008 R2) с помощью оснастки Server Manager посредством удаленного PowerShell. Роли сервера и его функции будут доступны для управления при помощи локальных и удаленных скриптов PowerShell 2.0. Таким образом, после установки RSAT Windows 7, в вашем распоряжении появится знакомая вам консоль Server Manager.

- Скачать средства удаленного администрирования сервера
Начиная с Windows XP, в операционных системах Windows появилась возможность установки специального программного обеспечения, которое приносит возможность удаленного управления серверами, работающими под операционными системами Windows Server (который должен быть минимум версии 2003). В Windows XP это осуществляется с помощью «пакета средств администрирования Windows Server 2003», в более новых ОС — с помощью пакета под названием «Средства удаленного администрирования сервера» или «Remote Server Administration Tools«, он же сокращенно «RSAT».
Скачать средства удаленного администрирования сервера
Стоит обратить внимание, что для работы RSAT требуется открытый 5985 порт TCP.
Скачать Пакет средств администрирования Windows Server 2003 с пакетом обновления 2 (SP2)
Windows XP:
- Официальный сайт: x86
- Яндекс Диск: x86
Скачать RSAT можно по следующим ссылкам
Windows 7 SP1:
- Официальный сайт (веб-архив): x86 и x64

Устанавливаем скаченное нами обновление на компьютере, с которого собираемся управлять сервером. В случае Windows XP, 8, 8.1 и 10 компоненты RSAT будут установлены автоматически, а вот для Windows 7 и Vista потребуется проделать дополнительные манипуляции, о которых написано ниже. В Windows 10, начиная с версии 2004 для установки компонентов RSAT установка обновления не нужна, но требуется провести другие действия, которые описаны в этой статье.
Windows Vista и Windows 7
Отправляемся в Панель управления — Программы и компоненты — Включение или отключение компонентов Windows. В списке компонентов должно появится «Средства удаленного администрирования сервера«, где мы выбираем необходимые нам компоненты для установки. Все названия компонентов соответствуют названиям таких же компонентов в Windows Server, так что с выбором что нужно устанавливать, а что нет, проблем возникнуть не должно.
На сервере следует проверить, включена ли служба брандмауэра (без неё удаленное управление работать не включится), после чего открываем консоль PowerShell и вводим туда следующие команды:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Configure-SMRemoting.ps1 -force -enableПроверяем, что нету никакой ругани (возможно для выполнения первой команды потребуется подтверждение), и возвращаемся обратно к клиенту, где мы установили RSAT.
Свежеустановленные компоненты RSAT должны появится в разделе Администрирования (Панель управления — Администрирование). Запускаем любой из них (например Диспетчер сервера), и проверяем соеденение с настроенным сервером.
Windows 10
В Windows 10, обновления ставятся автоматом с установкой обновления, но начиная с версии 2004 (май 2020 года), для установки RSAT компонентов необходимо выполнить следующие действия:
- Открываем «Параметры» компьютера, там переходим в раздел меню «Приложения». В нем открываем «Дополнительные компоненты».
- Нажимаем на «Добавить компонент».
- В открывшемся списке отмечаем галочками нужные компоненты, начинающиеся на «RSAT», а так же компоненты, название которых начинается на «Средства удаленного администрирования сервера».
- Выбрав нужные компоненты, нажимаем на кнопку «Установить», и ждем окончания установки компонентов. После установки, они станут доступны в меню Пуск, в разделе «Средства администрирования», а так же в разделе «Администрирование» старой Панели управления.
В Windows 7 очень не хватает оснасток: Active Directory Users and Computers, Active Directory Site and Services, DNS, DHCP и т. д., для администрирования домена Windows. Чтобы исправить этот недостаток компания Microsoft выпустила набор утилит под названием Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7. Этот пакет позволяет управлять ролями и функциями на удаленных серверах под управлением Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 или Windows Server 2003.Для его установки требуется…
Скачать Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 отсюда: microsoft.com (примерно 215 МБ). После запуска установщика система предложит установить обновление KB958830.
Соглашаемся. Далее произойдет установка пакета RSAT.
После удачного завершения установки, нужно добавить необходимые инструменты в систему. Для этого идем в «Панель управления (Control Panel)» – «Программы и компоненты (Programs and Features)» – «Включение и отключение компонентов Windows (Turn Windows features on or off)» – «Средства удаленного администрирования сервера(Remote Server Administration Tools)». Ставим галки напротив нужных инструментов.
ОК. Теперь в «Панель управленияАдминистрирование» появились инструменты, которые мы выбрали.
До этого был только стандартный набор инструментов:
Все.

Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server Technical Preview, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2
Introduction
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 from a computer that is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1,
Windows 8, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
RSAT cannot be installed on computers that are running Home, Standard, or Education editions of Windows. You can only install RSAT on Professional or Enterprise editions of the Windows client operating system. Unless the download page specifically states
that RSAT applies to a Beta or Preview or other prerelease version of Windows, you must be running a full (RTM) release of the Windows operating system to install and use RSAT. Although some users have found ways of manually cracking or hacking the RSAT MSU
to install RSAT on unsupported releases or editions of Windows, this is a violation of the Windows end-user license agreement.
This is similar to installing the adminpak.msi on Windows 2000 or Windows XP client computers. There is one major difference: in Windows Vista and Windows 7, the tools are not automatically available after
RSAT is downloaded and installed . You must enable the tools that you want to use by using the Control Panel. To do so, click
Start, click Control Panel, click Programs and then click
Turn Windows features on or off (as shown in the following figure).
However, in the RSAT releases for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8, tools are once again all enabled by default. You can open
Turn Windows on or off to disable tools that you don’t want to use. In RSAT for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8, GUI-based tools are accessed from within the Server Manager console, on the
Tools menu.
For RSAT that runs on Windows Vista and Windows 7, after running the downloaded installation package, you must enable the tools for the roles and features that you want to manage (as shown in the following figure).
You don’t need to do this for RSAT for Windows 8 or later.
If you need to install management tools in Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview for specific roles or features running on remote servers, there’s no need to install
additional software. Open the Add Features Wizard in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, or the
Add Roles and Features Wizard in Windows Server 2012 and later releases, and on the
Select Features page, expand Remote Server Administration Tools and select the tools that you want to install. Complete the wizard to install your management tools. See the following figure.

Version of RSAT for Windows 7 RTM? - RSAT
What are Remote Server Administration Tools and where can I get them?
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 are a package of administration tools add-ons that allow IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on computers that are running Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, and Windows Server 2003, from a remote computer that is running Windows 7.
Note: RSAT is similar in concept, although not in function and method of installation, to what was known as the “Adminpak” in Windows Server 2003/XP days, which could be found in the %systemroot%system32 folder of the server (or downloaded separately – see links below).
Another important note: This version is NOT compatible with Windows Vista. To install and use RSAT on Windows Vista (if you’re one of the few that actually have Vista… LOL), you’ll need to use Vista’s specific version.
Download details: Microsoft Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows Vista:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=9FF6E897-23CE-4A36-B7FC-D52065DE9960&displaylang=en
RSAT for Windows 7 includes support for remote management of computers that are running either the Server Core or full installation options of Windows Server 2008 R2, and for some roles and features, Windows Server 2008. See download links below.
Note that some roles and features on Windows Server 2003 can be managed remotely by using Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7, meaning you can use tools such as Active directory Users and Computers, DNS or DHCP management tools and so on, but not all tools will work against Windows Server 2003, and even if the tool works, there might be specific functions that will not function. Therefore, in order to manage a Windows Server 2003 network, use either a Windows XP-based workstation, or use RDP to connect to the remote servers and manage them directly, if possible.

How to Install Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 7
After downloading either the 64-bit or 32-bit version, based upon your needs, you will then install it on any Windows 7 system that will be used to remotely manage your servers.
Note: In order to use RDP to manage your servers you do not need to install anything! The RSAT package will allow you to connect to the servers on your network as though you were using one of the tools on one of your servers, and allow you to perform all the management tasks on your network.
Another very important note: The RSAT package uses local network connections and, in most cases, the RPC protocol, but NOT just RPC, also a large bunch pf protocols and Firewall settings. This protocol is not easily passed through a Firewall (although it can be passed, it’s all a question of configuration). Therefore, if the Windows 7 workstation used to manage the servers is INSIDE the SAME physical LAN, you will probably not have any issues connecting to the servers and managing them. However, if the Windows 7 workstation used to manage the servers is OUTSIDE the physical LAN, and connecting to the servers through some sort of WAN connection AND through a Firewall, you will probably not be able to connect to the servers. In this case, what most administrators will do is either use RDP to connect to these servers, or, when possible, use some sort of VPN or SSL-VPN connection to the network.
