Windows Server Administration Tools For windows 7 [Updated]

In case you got used to have DSA.MSC and DSite.MSC tools on you Windows XP workstation to manage Microsoft Windows 2003 Servers, and can’t live without them on your new Windows 7 Beta, unlike Windows Vista with got crappy batch file to fix broken install, Windows 7 gets its own Server Administration Package called:

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows  7 [RC]

Which is basically same thing, but fully compatible to Windows 7. 
Remember after finishing download & install, go to Control Panel/ Programs and features / “Turn Windows Features on or off” and Enable the tools you want from “Remote Server Administration Tools selection.

Enjoy!

P.S: Microsoft provided versions for both 32 and 64 bit systems.
P.S.S: I tried to install Adminpak.msi for Vista and fiddle with settings/permissions – Nothing really works – Don’t waste your time.

Update:
Original link was pointing to RSAT for beta, since then the tools updated for RC version.
