Support Tools for Server 2008 / Vista?

[Guest Jens Klein]

Hi @ all,

 

where I csn find the Support Tools for Server 2008 (not RSAT)?

 

Or is it possible to run the Srv2003-Support Tools on Srv2008?

 

Any idea?

I believe the tools come with the OS in W2k8. For example ldp and adsiedit.

I know there are differences in the W2k8 and W2k3 versions.

not all the tools are included, for example, you will get dnscmd.exe

when you install the DNS role.,

 

I believe Support tools are included in the DVD.

I have downloaded two copies (one from Eopen per my agreement) and neither of

the downloaded copies contained support.cab.

Hello IDNTech,

 

If you will check the windows\system32 folder, you can find a lot included,

so have a look there. Or specify the tools you are looking for.

Thank you. Your advice appears to be accurate. I just received word from Dell

support that the old support tools are now built in. In addition, the name is

changed from Support Tools to RSAT.

 

Instructions on partner sites are confusing as several show screenshots of

support tools on the 2008 DVD.

 

The tools were for installation on a 2003 server for preparation to move

domain control to the new 2008 server. I will install 2003 support tools

instead on that server.

Hello IDNTech,

 

Well, RSAT does not include all support tools, still have a look in system32.
