Prajwal Desai Posted August 28, 2012 Report post Posted August 28, 2012 The RSAT ( Remote Server Administration Tools) was released by Microsoft for windows 8 Preview, however you can install it on windows 8 RTM. As per Microsoft the file cannnot be installed on windows 8 RTM, but i did find a way to install it : As per Microsoft: The RSAT for windows 8 can be downloaded at : http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=28972 Once the download is complete, if you double click the file you should see this error: How to Install: 1) open the command prompt (run as administrator) and change the directory to where the package is stored. In my case i had placed it on desktop. Extract the RSAT msu package with the command: expand -F: * Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.msu C:\ rsat (note that I had to create the rsat folder before expanding). You can use winrar or 7 zip to extract the .msu file. 2) Now migrate to the directory where the files are extracted, in my case its C:\rsat and execute the command: pkgmgr /ip /m:Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.cab 3) The installation takes few minutes.
