RSAT is short for remote server administration tools, kind of handy when you like to work on/from you Windows client OS directly against a server OS, pretty much like adminak.msi “back in the days”. Just download the CORRECT version and don’t get suppressed when it doesn’t show up. The RSAT is just a package, you need to enable the feature in the control panel first, as any feature you would like to enable, like telnet and such.
The Picture
this is how it looks when the RSAT package is installed, as you see it is now possible to add the features you need from within that package.
The GUI Way:
The DISM way:
dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:RemoteServerAdministrationTools /All
The POSH way:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Features -All
The links
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 8.1
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 8
Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 7 with SP1 (both x86 and x64)

TechEd NA 2013 did not do any demos on the new UI, they told us that it will be showed at the BUILD conference, but one day later this YouTube video popped up. Surprise :-)
And when you feel for reading it instead, well here it is…

Inte första gången
och inte heller sista gången som vi gör detta, det är nämligen en av de få sakerna vi gör bara för att det är så grymt kul. Vi kommer att visa massor med olika saker kring OS Deployment och management. Du kan ta med dej kunskaperna hem och I praktiken använde det du har lärt dej direkt!. Mitt förslag är att du snabbt som attan anmäler dig här innan det är fullt. För du vill väl inte missa tillfället att ställa frågor och få svar, eller se praktiska runbooks, VDI demos, ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 prylar, nya snygga saker I AD:t, en portion PowerShell och annat smått och gott!

For about 7 minutes Microsoft announced the release of Windows 8 Server, you can download it from Microsoft and read more about it here. I have already updated my test environment and so far it looks great. I’m also working on the training material for my Mastering Windows 8 Server class and the biggest problem is how to fit all the new really good features in a 3 day training, its going to be packed and condensed. I mean, Hyper-V, IPAM, ADK, WDS, Active Directory, RDS/VDI it’s so fun and it seems they are on the right track with this release. I encourage you to download and play with it ASAP.

Yes, you can download it, it works and you can start playing with it, however it is a “Preview” (Back in the old days we used to call it BETA)
There are also a bunch of documents you can read to understand all the new features (trust me, there are many new things)
- Windows 8 Consumer Preview Product Guide
Download a detailed guide to the new and improved features in Windows 8 including AppLocker, BitLocker, Windows To Go, measured boot, and Client Hyper-V.
- Windows To Go Technical Overview
Learn how Windows To Go can help you provide users with bootable USB storage devices containing a copy of Windows 8, along with their business apps, data, and settings.
- Frequently Asked Questions: Managing the Windows Store
Get answers to frequently asked questions about managing end user access to, and usage of, the Windows Store within your organization.
- The Windows 8 User Experience
Learn more about application, Web, and cloud features for end users.

You can read more of this here:

The download link is here:

If you need the ADK, you need to have access to MSDN to be able to download it

No, you should not upgrade, always wipe & load. There might be scenarios where you would like this to work, but it does not. Upgrade on the Server preview version has been blocked. The way to solve this issue is to extract the ISO image, open the source folder and delete the file “noupgrade.txt” and then run setup.exe from the folder.
I have done this on 4 Hyper-V host machines so far and it worked for me. The reason was that I did not want to export/import all the machines just to test new Hyper-V stuff.
However, It is not supported, not recommended.

If you are testing Windows 8 Server just for the fun of it, you will soon realize that the new Metro-Style application interface does not really work great for server administration (right now), so the easy way is to turn it off.
Here is how to use REG.exe to see the setting and to modify it:
Check the setting:
- reg.exe query HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v RPEnabled
- 1 = Metro style
- 0 = Classic Desktop and start menu
Modify the setting:
- reg.exe add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /v RPEnabled /d 0 /t REG_DWORD /f
Hopefully the new UI will work better for servers in the future.
