    I have just downloaded Windows 8 RTM from TechNet; I have attempted to install RSAT for Windows 8; however I believe that this is for the Pre-RTM versions. When is there going to be a version available for Windows 8 RTM?

    Many Thanks

    I was reading on Stephen Liu's blog at http://blogs.technet.com/b/servermanager/archive/2012/07/30/deploying-windows-8-remote-server-administration-tools-rsat.aspx

    In the comments he mentioned they are working on it but to not expect it until Sept.

    My co-worker figured out how to resolve this.  If you take the Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 cabinet file and update the build number to RTM.  Then execute (from a elevated command prompt) kgmgr /ip /m:<path><file name>.cab

    You might have to restart after this.  But it worked for us!

    Workaround:

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

    @Mystic drop - Make sure you're running cmd as an Admin (so right click and selecting Run as Administrator. Just being an admin won't cut it for some reason). I had the same error until I did that.

    I am experiencing the same error after I attempt the "workaround". I installed IIS - which actually got me past the error and the installer started looking for Updates - and then it error'd out.

    as well :(


    I wonder if its because I have installed the en-GB version of Enterprise rather than en-US.. think I will virtualise a release preview version to get RSAT on

    Is it me or are there missing tools?  Where is the Terminal Services Manager/Remote Desktops tools?  I can't kick a session from another server anymore?  Will this be in the final tool set?

    when you add server(s) that have the RDS Role assigned, that module will become available in RSAT Svr Mgr. 

    I've successfully been able to test almost all major modules, but am having issues with smremoting data, similar to those observed when working with multiple iterations of beta / rc / rtm versions simultaneously; that is to say, WMI versions don't appear to be consistent with the RC version of RSAT and RTM Server.

    Nevertheless, at least you can manage your servers for another week until the "real" version is released.

    It installed on my W8x86 VM without any mucking about, in case anyone cares.  Maybe all they changed was the version bit and re-released the RP. I'm only testing so I don't care, at least it works for now.

    Hi :)

    Same to me, it works, x86 version. Downloaded from above provided link where it states that is RSAT for Win 8 Release Preview but date is 9/7/2012. It seems that bits are changed but description on download page not.

    Thanks for letting us know it was released.  I think I would have ignored it because of that heading.  They probably left it as "Release Preview" because the official release isn't until October and the Release Preview is still being offered to the public.

    The x64 version does not seem to be working, it runs through the install with no errors, however once complete the administration tools are not present. I have checked in "turn Windows features on or off" and not there either.

    Anyone else having this problem?

    Install completes without any errors, but no sign of the tools, and no entry in the windows features list.

    Hi, Rob,
I'm the technical writer for Remote Server Administration Tools; I have some information that might help you.
Although the version of Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 that is currently live (and yes, that is labeled "Release Preview") is supported only on Windows 8 Release Preview, it can be installed on Windows 8 RTM without any difficulties for testing purposes; that should unblock your testing.
However, when the Windows 8 RTM version replaces it, and "Release Preview" is removed from the download cover page, you will need to uninstall the current version and install the Windows 8 RTM version to use the fully-supported RSAT pack.  This should be another few days; I cannot give you an exact date at this time.
I hope that makes sense and helps.  The current version runs fine on Windows 8 RTM for testing purposes, but is supported only on Windows 8 Release Preview.
Thank you,
Gaby

    Hi all,

    I thought I would give my two pennies worth.

    RSAT for windows 8 RTM is still in the testing phase and Microsoft have not (at the time of this post) publicly stated support for it.

    The install process for RSAT has been a bit hit and miss within my Organisation, I have successfully install on the following platforms:

    Windows 8 Release Preview: Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 (release preview).

    The above did not work on all installs of Windows 8 release preview! It seems to fail on our Dell Optiplex 390s

    Windows 8 RM: Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 (release preview by extracting and cmd install, see DustyK above).

    Again this failed on the Dell Optiplex 390.

    Windows 8 RM: Update - Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 (Update for RM).

    I have only tested this on my Dell XPS laptop and I had no issues worked fine, however we are still having problems installing on the Optiplex 390.

    In closing I think we need to give it more time. It’s funny but I really miss a stable copy of RSAT! I’m confident that Microsoft will update us soon, however like January19 said the RSAT for Windows 8 has been pulled. I will update you as and when I have more news.

    I have downloaded the latest version (Released 9/13/2012) and it still wont install on my Windows 8 Ent RTM laptop.

    The installer looks like it has run fine and finishes saying installation successful, but there are no admin tools installed and the remote server administration option is not available as a windows feature to turn on.  The update also does not show up in the list of installed updates.

    I have a successfully installed event in my setup log from WUSA, and an installation successful event in the system log from WindowsUpdateClient.

    Getting by running tools via RDP for now, but the new server manager was the reason I upgraded to Windows 8 early.  Getting pretty frustrated with it now.

    Installed the newly released RSAT for x64.   Also installs fine (rather too quickly though, compared to previous versions of RSAT) but no tools are offered in the Administration Tools folder or anywhere to be found in the Windows Features list.  Note, it does say that the tools are installed by default, not like older versions of RSAT that require to be switched on after the update is installed ;- however they do not exist...

    I had exactly same. I tried to use dism to install extracted cab and it got me thinking (error: package can't be applied to the image). I checked installed packages and noticed, that I have only en-GB language pack. Once I installed en-US - everything worked just fine. So my guess is that you need en-US language pack installed to use this package...

    I think this is my issue too - as it isn't blindingly obvious, can you point me at where to install the en-US language pack?  I have added English United States as a language, but under there it says pack not available.

    What you need is Windows 8 Language Pack (x64/x86) - DVD (Multiple Languages)

    I *suspect* there are better sources for this pack than this (it contains many other language packages that you will probably never need). But this is what I've used and can recommend. :)

    Once you have downloaded the language pack dvd from technet you can mount the iso image and the extract just the  .cab file for en-us.  Once extracted change the extension from .cab to .mlc    Run this file and it will install the en-us language pack.  After that the RSAT install should work.

    Sorry Microsoft, this is total bo**ocks.   Why is it this challenging and difficult to get a simple admin pack installed.  You really really have to have these issues nailed by the time of general release.   You are already alienating the IT Pros that are taking up the Windows 8 RTM and if it is this hard to get simple things done what will it be like for general users.

    Are you sure you have actually downloaded the windows 8 language pack dvd iso from MS Technet and extracted and installed the en-us language pack from it ?

    That seems to have fixed it for most people. It fixed a total of 8 machines I have had involvement with.

    Are you sure you have actually downloaded the windows 8 language pack dvd iso from MS Technet and extracted and installed the en-us language pack from it ?

    That seems to have fixed it for most people. It fixed a total of 8 machines I have had involvement with.

    BUT WHY should you have to?  RSAT should be ambiguous to the language installed and it should be childs play to install.  It used to be in every version of Windows released before ! 

    Why have unknown issues or obstacles... it gets in the way of proper testing of Windows 8 in the enterprise.

    I agree totally with you. Not very good on MS's part to do it this way especially as they didn't even tell us that this was the case.

    At least for now we are stuck with this workaround or manage without RSAT on your Win8 PC.

    Well, did it almost the same (used Mount-DiskImage on .iso, but without changing any extenstions).

    Becasue I thought it might be useful for others - I blogged about it. Hopefully we will see updated multi-language version of RSAT soon... It's really sad that it required some detective work to install it on en-GB image.

    Until than: blog post mentioned.

    Glad to see I am not the only one experiencing RSAT installation issues.....But overall, this is amazing we have to deal with this......Kind of scary......Maybe to much MS Tech focus is on the mobile and tablet side, and not on the Server / Desktop side, since the markets have shifted ...memory sales have surpassed PC/Server sales.......this may provide some insight where their energy is being focused....

    Although I agree it is really stupid, it did however get me to play with the ISO mounting method in Windows 8 which is pretty good actually.

    This is what annoys me about Windows 8, lots of little improvements that really good but then other things in it seem to be retrograde steps.

    I just hope Windows 7 SP2 contains some of the new improvements...

    Similarly,

    The installation is pretty fast but the Administration Tools are not listed! It's Frustrating to Administer the servers via RDP and hope Microsoft find a quick solution to the update for those who have Windows 8 Ent RTM clients!!

    This happened to me too and I've now resolved it. Looking at some of the other issues experienced above, I've got answers to try and clear up any confusion (as I see it).

    In all cases:

    • If you have an older version of RSAT installed, uninstall it first before trying to install the latest version. Reboot in between.
    • If you get the error " Installer encountered an error:0x80070003, system cannot find the path specified", this is likely due to UAC. Make sure you run the file with elevated privileges. Also, check if the file is blocked from running since it came from the web. Right-click the file and on the General tab, click 'unblock'. Failing that, copy the file locally to install.

    For those running Windows 8 Release Preview:

    • The latest version of RSAT should install with no issues and that is likely because Windows 8 RP did not have any other localised version of English other than US English and Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 is for us-en.

    For those running Windows 8 RTM Pro or Ent:

    The installation of Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64 might appear install successfully but it runs very quickly and nothing appears in 'Turn Windows Features on or off'. If you try the other method to of installing by trying to extract the cab file and run pkgmgr as described above, you will receive the following Event Viewer information in the Setup log: "The servicing request received for package KB2693643 cannot be satisfied since the package is not applicable."

    • Unless you have an en-us English version of Windows 8 RTM installed, you must unfortunately install the en-us language pack before RSAT as described in http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972. If you have Technet or MSDN, you can download it there. Then you can install RSAT successfully but note that it is still a release preview and is only officially supported in Windows 8 RP.

    Finally, you might also need to install the latest Windows Management Framework on your older servers in order to more fully manage Windows server 2008/R2 servers using Server Manager. The Server 2012 version of Server Manager is not backwards compatible. Get it here. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=229019

    What a bloody palaver that was.

    You install RSAT, no errors display but it doesn't appear so you Google and install a language pack via the charms, which of course completes but doesn't display an error either so you have to resort to command line DISM installs and 2GB downloads just to get it working.

    1/10, must try harder...

    Okay.... i was able to fix it...

    My steps:

    1. Open a command prompt as Administrator
    2. Extract Windows6.2-KB2693643-x64.msu /extract:C:\RSAT
    3. Go inside the extracted folder
    4. Rename the .xml file located into RSAT.xml
    5. run the command pkgmgr /n:RSAT.xml

    BINGO!
