Server Administration Tools for Windows 8

I've been trying to download/install Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 on my Win8 RTM box. regardless of what version of Server Admin tools I try to install I get the same error:
I've been getting the download from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
I've also tried
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=7887
Any suggestions? I know this is quite vague, which is why I don't know how to go about figuring it out, so if you have any leading questions please feel free to ask!
Thank you.

Nope, I'm afraid the link on the blog you posted is broken, get the 'page not found' message

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.

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:

Hi zelgay,
This is my result:
From your error code, it seems this is relate to your windows update, please use following command to fix corrupted files:
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
In the meantime, you can delete temporary update files in the SoftwareDistribution folder:
Stop Windows Update service.
Open File Explorer.
Double-click the local hard disk where Windows is installed, typically drive C.
Double-click the Windows folder, and then double-click the
SoftwareDistribution folder.
Double-click the DataStore folder to open it, and then delete all files and folders in the folder.
Note If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Click the Back button. In the SoftwareDistribution folder, double-click the
Download folder to open it, and then delete all files in the folder.
Restart Windows Update service.

Failure in Installing Remote Server Administration Tools on Windows 8.0

I have recently download
Remote Server Administration Tools (64 bit) for Windows 8,but unfortunately I couldn't Installed it & an error message appeared on the screen after I tried to
Install the tools, saying; "The update is not applicable to your computer".
Then I followed the instructions available on the same page, but there in Turn windows feature
on or off's list in the Control panel, the
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 .

Oracle Business Intelligence Administration Tool for Windows

I am having issues installing Oracle Business Intelligence 11g Client on Windows 7 32 bit.
This is how we set up our server:
- OBIEE 11g Server is installed and configured in RHEL 5 64bit.
(We have installed and configured Oracle Database, RCU and the OBIEE)
- Our users are working on a Windows 7 32 bit and they are the one who will be accessing the BI Server.
I have come across a bunch of information regarding our setup. I am sure that our BI Server is working properly as a matter of fact, we can now use Oracle Warehouse Builder of the BI Server.
According to Metalink Doc Id: 417656.1, OBIEE Tools are only available in Windows platforms. I beleive this is the reason why we only configured OWB in our BI server (which is in RedHat) and we cannot find a way to configure OBIEE Admin Tools. But when I read the doc id, it applies to 10g versions of BI Server, what about 11g? Is there a way to configure and use OBIEE Admin tools from the BI Server in Linux?
Also, according to the official docs:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/bi.1111/e10539/c4_installing.htm#CEGEHEJF
4.6.1 Installing Oracle Business Intelligence Client Tools
"..If you installed Oracle Business Intelligence on a computer running a Linux, UNIX, or 64-bit Windows operating system, and you want to use Oracle Business Intelligence client tools, you must perform the following additional steps..."
So in my own understanding, this fits our current setup. Is this the correct solution so we can access OWB of the BI Server and use BI Admin tools from our 32 bit windows?
Also, I have read many bloggers and users having issues in Windows 7? Following the official docs i pasted here which has steps 1-3, is Windows 7 supported by Oracle Business Intelligence 11g?
Any help, confirmation (with credible basis) and further questions about this issue will be very much honored. Thanks a lot!

Hi ,
Oracle BI for CC&B has few Standard(Demo) reports packaged with this software for example CI_CSEOPN (Case by Type and Age), If we need to know the logic of this report where do we find the information as the code for this report is not user friendly which is mainly stored as functions and not understandable, Please let me know if you have any information to get the logic of this report.
Thanks

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.....

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.

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!

Where can I download adobe File Packager tool for Windows?

Dear all,
I need to understand the detail format of f4f files, but the only useful information I can find is the following:
http://www.adobe.com/products/httpdynamicstreaming/pdfs/httpdynamicstreaming_wp_ue.pdf
Is there more detail specification for f4f ?
Where can I download adobe File Packager tool for Windows?
It seems to me the following specification is not correct for f4f, at least the parts talking about "mdat" box

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.

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)

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.

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!

Howto really install RSAT tools for Windows 8 (ymmv)

first of all download the RSAT tools from
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972
then get the language pack ISO named "mu_windows_8_language_pack_x64_dvd_917544" (just google it).
so even if you have EN-US installed, RSAT tools won't show. here's how:
1. in a cmd prompt, as administrator run "dism /online /ad-package /packagepath:D:\langpacks\en-us\lp.cab", where D: is the drive letter where you mounted the ISO of the language pack that you googled
2. once above is done, reboot
3. then reinstall the RSAT installer again
4. reboot
once the four steps above are done, you'll find the RSAT tools for Windows 8.
