Thanks Mike! I believe the product team must be working on releasing the RTM version of these tools, which is why the link is temporarily unavailable. I'll post an update on this page when the RTM version is available.

Hi,

Please note that for the last couple of days the URL/link to the RSAT download is not working. I get a page with the error "We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found. The URL may be misspelled or the page you're looking for is no longer available."

Thanks.

Hi Greg,

These tools are currently available for installation on Windows 8 Release Preview. The RTM tools that will install on Windows 8 RTM will be available very soon. I'll provide an update when the RTM tools are available.

In terms of Failover Cluster management tools, Failover Cluster Manager in this RSAT kit will only support Windows Server 2012 clusters. The Windows PowerShell cmdlet set supports Windows Server 2012 and WS08R2. MSClus and Cluster.EXE support Windows Server 2012, WS08R2 and WS08.

Here's a link to the full list of tools with a support matrix for each server operating system that may be helpful: social.technet.microsoft.com/.../2202.remote-server-administration-tools-rsat-for-windows-vista-windows-7-windows-8-windows-server-2008-windows-server-2008-r2-and-windows-server-2012-dsforum2wiki.aspx

Are these the RTM tools as the download page says Release Preview? Also will Failover Cluster Manager support the 2008 R2 Clusters?
