Is there a resource kit for 2008 R2 thanks.MSB

Hello, as starting with Windows Server 2008 there is no separate resource kit. Most tools are included in Windows Server 2008 R2. What specific tool are you using?Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.

Well I just want everything that can be installed on this server before I promote it to a DC.MSB

Hello, the basic required tools are installed and can be used from RSAT tools or are just in the OS after preparing AD DS. And there is no problem to isntall some tools later on if you need them.Best regards Meinolf Weber MVP, MCP, MCTS Microsoft MVP - Directory Services My Blog: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/ Disclaimer: This posting is provided AS IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
