    The RSAT installer completed just fine, and the link to the help page was added under Administrative Tools, but server manager isn't there or in the list of available snap-ins, and it doesn't seem like any of the other snap-ins were added either. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, no SP1. I'm not currently joined to my server's domain, but I don't think that should make any difference in whether server manager is installed or not.

    How can I convince server manager to grace me with its presence?

    Hi,
     
    I have installed Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (SP1) on my Windows 7 computer and I can find Server Manager in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features\Turn Windows features on or off.

    If Server Manager is not included, then why do the help files referenced by the installer state very specifically "Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 includes Server Manager for managing roles and features on a computer that is running either the full or Server Core installation options of Windows Server 2008 R2."?

    Thanks, I feel like an idiot now. Sure enough, it's in the help files, hiding right in the middle part I never read.
