Or if you open the newer Active Directory Administrative Center, then try to open a user’s properties, the console will crash. Instead you’ll get a view that looks like this. For example, if you open Active Directory Users and Computers and look at the properties of a user, most of the tabs will be missing, including the General tab. If you are running one of the earlier releases of Windows 10 (builds 1511 or 1507), many of the RSAT tools from the current v1.2 download will not work. The first caveat you’ll hit is that Windows Server 2016 RTM corresponds to Windows 10 build 1607, also known as the Anniversary Update. I’m personally surprised we’re still making x86 versions of RSAT available.

On the download page, you’ll currently see it as v1.2 with the WindowsTH-RSAT_WS2016-圆4.msu name or WindowsTH-RSAT_WS2016-x86.msu if you’re planning on running 32-bit Windows 10 for some reason. Since Windows Server released, only the RTM version of RSAT for Windows 10 is available for download. The Tech Previews all had a preview version of RSAT available for them. If you are a typical enterprise customer you’ve most likely been running Windows 7 as your client, and are just now starting to explore Windows 10.īecause of the OS specifics, RSAT for Windows 10 is tied to Windows Server 2016.

There are links to each of the packages from the main RSAT Knowledge Base article at. There is a different package for each client OS that corresponds to the matching server OS. RSAT provides the server management tools for the Windows client Operating Systems like Windows 7 or Windows 10 so that you don’t have to RDP into a Domain Controller just to run the Active Directory Users and Computers GUI. If you’ve been administering Windows Server for any length of time, you’re hopefully aware of the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) package. Or more precisely I hate logging in to servers.
