DHCPMGMT.MSC in Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) won't remember DHCP server

I'm running Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit and I've noticed that when I run the DHCP Management tool (DHCPMGMT.MSC) and I add our DHCP Authorised server then close the console, it forgets the DHCP server and I
have to re-select it next time I use the console. 
On the other hand, the DNS console remembers that I've used a particular DNS server even after I close the console.
Wondering why the DHCP Management console is so forgetful?

Where there's a will there's a way. Here's what I did because it annoyed me so much to have to re-add the server each time.
1. Open the DHCP Managment console in author mode using the following command:
mmc /a c:\windows\system32\dhcpmgmt.msc
2. Add the server(s) you want to see
3. Click File > Save As...
4. Save the .msc console in the c:\windows\system32\ folder with a unique name like dhcpmgmt2.msc (don't use the old name: dhcpmgmt.msc)
5. Edit your adminstrative menu shortcut by:
       a. Browsing to Control Panel >
Administrative Tools (you may have to change the view to small icons to see all items).
       b. Right click on DHCP > Choose
Properties
       c. Change the Target to:
%windir%\system32\dhcpmgmt2.msc
(be sure you point it at whatever you named the new DHCP console my example was dhcpmgmt2.msc)
Cheers-
Josh

  • Windows 10 Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT)

    No offense, but the same question is 5 posts down and even has RSAT in the subject.  I've lost count on the number of times this has been asked today

    I've got Windows 10 installed, but no access to RSAT. Has anyone else had any success installing this? It tried to install the tools that came out for the Jan. Tech preview build. Those appear to be the latest, but I've got nothing.

    I did have the Remote Server Administration Tools installed previously when I was running windows 8 pro and everything was fine. I've tried to remove the older version but according to the below it isn't even installed and Remote Server Administration
    Tools doesn't appear in Turn Windows features on or off.

    SeniorInternet,
    I’ve seen this issue in the past and it occurred because the file was corrupted. 
    It’s possible that something went wrong when downloading it originally on your newly upgraded machine. 
    Try downloading
    KB2693643 again from another machine and install it.
    Hope this helps!

  • Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise

    Unable to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 Release Preview on RTM 8 Enterprise 
    Standalone installer available here
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
    fails with error code 0x80004005
    Is this because my installation has issues, or would the admin pack files be updated for RTM?
    Thank you in advance for any insight

    Found the solution here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w8itprogeneral/thread/6d8745e0-c4c1-463a-b4bb-09f6c9c22527
    Workaround:
    Download the RSAT package intended for Windows 8 Release Preview: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
    Extract the .msu file with a tool such as 7-Zip.
    Open an Admin command prompt and change directory to where you extracted the .msu.
    Run the following command to install (if x86 you probably have a different .xml filename): pkgmgr /n:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.xml
    Wait a while. You can look in task manager for pkgmgr. When it disappears, the installation is done.
    Use the tools as per usual.

  • Unable to create a clustered VM using Remote Server Administration Tools - Failover Cluster Manager

    Hi
    I am using two Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 and a single WS2012 Datacenter Edition with GUI Interface for management purpose.
    I have installed Failover Clustering feature on these two Hyper-V servers and remote server administration tools for Failover Clustering on WS2012 DC Edition with GUI.
    I have created cluster using powershell cmdlets on Hyper-V server because I was unable to create a cluster using RSAT-Failover Clustering (May be some privileges issues).
    The problem is " I am still not able to create a Hyper-VM using Failover Cluster Manager on WS2012 DC Edition server". It gives me an error "Invalid operation"
    Any Help regarding this issue will be very appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.....
    Abhinav | MCTS-Server Virtualization

    Thanks Tim for your response but atleast I should be able to create and configure VMs for high availability. 
    I think this is not the issue which I am facing. It gives me an error "invalid class". There is something missing.
    Please check and let me know if it can be solved. Any help will be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Remote Server Administration Tools Win7 to Svr20212R2

    Can be done, and works.  Functionality is reduced, however.  See—http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/439904-windows-7-remote-server-administration-toolkit-rsat

    I was wondering, is it possible to use Remote Server Administration Tools to access a server running Windows Server 2012 R2 on Windows 7 Pro? Last I heard it was NOT possible. If not, is there anyway to do it another way other than RD? I would like to administer my server from my computer rather than using the KVM or RD. Thanks!

    Remote Server Administration Tools option is not available. After that I have updated the OS completely, from Windows update option on the Control panel, but the problem is still exist.  So therefore I need help regarding this matter in order to solve
    this unexpected problem, that I am currently facing.
    Thank you .

  • Can't enable Remote Server Administration Tools

    I have seen many people around the net having what seems to be this issue, but there are a few nuances that differ in my particular situation.
    I have 2 'Windows 7 Sp1' machines on an AD domain.  Functional level is 2003.
    I downloaded and installed "Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu" on both PCs and the installation seemed to finish without errors, but when I go to enable the features it throws the error: "An error occurred, not all the features were successfully
    changed."
    I came across a solution that claimed I needed to reinstall the KB, I did so to no avail.  I thought perhaps my download might be corrupt, so on the 2nd machine I downloaded directly to that PC, but got the same behavior.
    I doubt that it is Group Policy related, because other machines (although they're XP) are in the same OUs as these machines and can run the admin tools.  <Users are members of a Help Desk & frequently reset certain users' passwords.>
    I'm not sure what to do next, especially since both of these computers are acting the same way.

    Hi,
    Please go to event log to check more information about this operation, you could find something under Windows Logs---Setup log.
    According to your description, I suspect there would be some common issue existed in your both Windows 7 computers. Just boot into clean boot mode to check if you can turn on Remote Server Administration Tools components. This will avoid the software conflicts
    during configuration.

    If you're running 9926 then you're not installing the correct version. If
    you expand the Details section you'll see that version was published last
    October. You'll need this one, which was published in at the end of
    January:

  • Issues Installing MacOS X Server administrative tools

    I'm trying to install Admin tools verson 10.4 on my MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
    When I try to install the .mpkg file, it tells me that I don't have permission to install Admin tools on my mac... I have never had this problem in the past installing software, why is this one telling me this now?
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Chuck:
    As Tony said, screen sharing is your best bet. Server admin tools, for whatever reason, work best, or at all, only if they are installed on a client running the same client version of the OS as the server. you can run 10.5 tools to admin a 10.4 server, but personally, I wouldn't. If you are running 10.5 or later on a client Mac, you can use screen sharing to connect to other Macs. If you're not familiar, on the server, enable remote management. On a client running 10.5 or later, open a window (for instance, your HD). On the left side of the window that opens you should see a short list of computers on your network. Click on see all if your server is not listed. Then select the server you want to manage, and click the screen sharing button. Enter a username and password on the server, and you're connected. You can then run the admin tools as if you were sitting at the server.

  • Server Administration tools 10.4.11 not installing properly on 10.4.11

    I have a 10.4.11 PPC OS X Server on an XServe, as reported by About this Mac, but the Server Admin tools are not at that version level. I want to upgrade them to the latest version. The Server Admin is at 10.4.7 and the Workgroup Manager is at 10.4.4. I downloaded the 10.4.11 toolset from Apple and attempted an upgrade, but there was no change in the tools' version numbers! I installed them on a different "clean" 10.4.11 and the toolset installed perfectly.
    Thinking there was an object conflict, I copied /Applications/Server to /Applications/ServerOriginal and cleaned out the original /Server folder, then reran the installation. Still no change!
    Is there some kind of configuration file, plist, or something that's preventing the update? Any ideas appreciated. Thanks.

    Greetings,
    Thanks for posting this I was so frustrated but now because of your post I wont have to go half way across the building with a monitor mouse and keyboard just to add a user.
    Thanks so much.
    Sincerely,
    Jake.

  • Migrating clients from one DHCP server (in forest A) to a new DHCP server (in forest B)

    The scenario:  clients have recently been migrated from one forest to a new forest but are currently using the DHCP server located in the old forest.  The goal is to force the clients to start leasing from the new DHCP server in the new forest
    as soon as possible.  The users are still on the same network segment with the same address range.  There is currently DNS forwarding between the two forests.

    Keep in mind, during the transition, DNS for both the old forest and the new forest must have resolution setup between them, such as using Forwarding. This way with configuring DNS for DHCP clients (DHCP option 006), they'll still be able to resolve
    the new forest name still using the old DNS. However, keep in mind, registration will not work until you switch over to the new forest's DNS.
    As for Option 015, the Connection Specific Search Suffix, I would avoid using that until all machines have been migrated.

  • Windows 10 RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools)

    You are correct, I didn't scour them enough, it's been hard to go through so many relating to the technical preview I guess I got a little lazy.
    I hear ya there. With the Win10 release, it's been rather busy for sure.

    Has anyone received any information on when RSAT for the final release of Windows 10 will be available? I have scoured everywhere, not seeing when this might be released. I am eager to get all testing done and rollout to a couple of users for further testing before rolling it out to everyone.

    If I run .cmd file from SCCM client as administrator it works, but I have to push in environment for hundreds of machines and somehow its not running with elevated administrator rights..
    Spend lot of time but getting nowhere..
    I would greatly appreciate if anybody could provide me any clues
    Same commands worked before for Windows 732bit machine but not it fails on x32 and x64 bit both.

    Thank for quick reply, I have already deployed  RSAT successfully
    I installed PSTools on test machine and
    Used "psexec -i -s cmd" to open a cmd in system context manually and copied .bat script to c:\windows\system32 and run from command prompt, it works fine on test machine..
    But how would I implement it using SCCM because our client machines doesn't have pstools?
    Please provide more details Torsen I haven't deployed apps using psexec so far..
    RJ
    There's no need to "deploy" using psexec - use psexec as a method to verify the scripts/commands are valid and functional when executed in the LocalSystem context (because LocalSystem context is exactly what ConfigMgr is using when you tick "run
    as admin").
    So, that worked.
    How are you packaging/launching this via ConfigMgr?
    Are you using "package" ?
    Are you using "run command line" ?
    Or AppModel/Application ?
    Maybe, you are using run-command-line, or package-without-source - if so, I guess that your script is trying to run from UNC off the DP and this is what DISM is objecting to?
