Not all RSAT Tools Work with Server 2003...

In fact, here is a list of the RSAT tools that have been confirmed to work with Server 2003:

  • Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Tools
  • Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) Tools
  • Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) Tools
  • DHCP Server Tools
  • DNS Server Tools
  • Group Policy Management Tools
  • Network Load Balancing Tools
  • Terminal Services Tools
  • Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) Services Tools

Apparently, not all administrative tools for Server 2008 are even included in the RSAT either. Here is a list of management tools that aren't in the RSAT:

  • Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) Tools
  • Fax Service Manager
  • Network Policy and Access Services (NPS) Tools (has no remote connectivity functionality)
  • Server Manager (has no remote connectivity functionality - top feature request #1 - Server Manager product team is looking how to get this done in next release)
  • iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service)
  • Storage Explorer
  • Windows Media Services (available through separate addon for x86 and x64)
  • WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)
  • Windows Server Backup
  • Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Tools
  • IIS 7 Manager (available through separate addon for x86 and x64)
  • Hyper-V Tools (available through separate addon for x86 and x64 - More information: Q949758)
