Windows 8 RSAT tools released for 2012 Server

-

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 enables IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on computers that are running Windows Server 2012 from a remote computer that is running Windows 8.


http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28972


Overview

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 includes Server Manager, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins, consoles, Windows PowerShell cmdlets and providers, and command-line tools for managing roles and features that run on Windows Server 2012. In limited cases, the tools can be used to manage roles and features that are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008. Some of the tools work for managing roles and features on Windows Server 2003.

System requirements

Supported operating systems: Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro
**Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 can be installed ONLY on computers that are running Windows 8.**Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 runs on both x86- and x64-based editions of Windows 8. Download and install the version that matches the architecture of the computer on which you plan to install the administration tools. If you are not sure whether your computer is x86- or x64-based, see How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 is available in the following languages: cs-CZ, de-DE, en-US, es-ES, fr-FR, hu-HU, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, nl-NL, pl-PL, pt-BR, pt-PT, ru-RU, sv-SE, tr-TR, zh-CN, zh-HK, and zh-TW. If the system UI language of your Windows 8 operating system does not match any of the available RSAT languages, you must first install a Windows 8 Language Pack for a language that is supported by RSAT, and then try installing Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 again. Until Windows 8 is generally available, extract the Windows 8 en-US Language Pack from the Windows 8 Language Pack that is available on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. For more detail about how to extract the en-US language pack for this workaround, see the installation instructions on this page. For more information about how to get Windows 8 Language Packs after Windows 8 is generally available, see KB 2607607.

IMPORTANT: Remove all older versions of Administration Tools Pack or Remote Server Administration Tools—including earlier prerelease versions, and releases of the tools for different languages or locales—from the computer before you install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8. Only one copy at a time of Remote Server Administration Tools can be installed on a computer. If you have upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7, you will need to install Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 on the computer; no earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools are still installed on a computer that you have upgraded to Windows 8.

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 includes support for remote management of computers that are running the Server Core installation option or the Minimal Server Graphical Interface configuration of Windows Server 2012, and in limited cases, the Server Core installation options of Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2008. However, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 cannot be installed on any versions of the Windows Server operating system.

Earlier releases of Remote Server Administration Tools (such as those for Windows 7) are not available--nor do they run--on Windows 8. Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8 can be used to manage some roles and features that run on Windows Server 2008 R2, but has limited functionality managing roles on servers that are running releases of Windows Server that are older than Windows Server 2012. For a table describing the available tools and the versions of roles and features that they support, see Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Release Preview, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Server 2012.

Server Manager is included with Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 8; GUI-based tools that are part of this release of Remote Server Administration Tools can be opened by using commands on the Tools menu of the Server Manager console. To use Server Manager to access and manage remote servers that are running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you must install several updates on the older operating systems. For more information about requirements for using Server Manager to manage remote servers, see Manage multiple, remote servers with Server Manager.

vSphere 7 - Specify a vmkernel adapter to use for NFS datastores Step By Step \ Walkthrough on a DVS

 Recently I needed to setup a NFS server but needed it to specifically be on a specific vmkernel adapter. I found this KB https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/50112854 however there were some things missing so I decided to write this walkthrough incase it helps any one else. First thing , remove all NFS mounted datastores if you haven't already. I ran through this on 7.0.2 however is probably the same for other versions. Step 1: This is going to be on a DVS, so we want to go ahead and create a port group to silo off our NFS traffic. To make life easy, we will just call it NFS Static binding and elastic port allocation were the defaults so I let these there. If you are VLAN'ing your traffic modify this info here, and complete the wizard. Next put your host into Maintenance Mode We are going to add a New TCP/IP stack to the host. First check that you have not already created one in the UI by opening a browser to the ESXi host, navigate to networking > TCP/IP Stacks SSH into your ES

Horizon View 2-factor Authentication for Free! with Google Authenticator or others

So after quite a bit of work on my proof of concept google authenticator server, a colleague pointed out that LinOPT has already created this, along a whole slew of other options. So after spending a couple of nights reading and testing I figured id post a simple walk-through to get this up and running in your environment. As mentioned in the title this is a Free solution , however if you are wanting to scale this in a large organization you would most likely want to explore their support contracts , this is a good fall back when things just don't work and this also help the developers keep this type of software free for the rest of us. To start off we want to create 2 objects in Active Director. The first is just a standard user account LinOTP will use to connect to your domain. You can put these any where in your domain as we will access them directly later. In my case i create one called 'LinOTP Svc' and put it in the default Users OU. Next create a Global or
