Thanks to TechRepublic newsletter I learned today that Microsoft released Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 that can be downloaded from Microsoft Download center. At the time when Vista was released, Microsoft announced that they’ll not port Remote admin tools to this OS, instead they suggested really stupid workaround, Remote Desktop. Hello?? Back then I thought, what a bummer for Microsoft, now Vista is definitely not something I would care to even test at my workplace nor recommend to anyone. Fortunately, someone at Microsoft realized the mistake.
Anyway, you can install RSA Tools on Windows 7 Enterprise, Ultimate and Professional and you can manage Serve 2003/R2, Server 2008/R2. List of remote features that can be managed can be found in KB article 958830.
