Windows Vista : Performing Local PC Administration (part 1) - Working with workstation administration tools

You've already seen how you can centrally manage change on Vista PCs and then, how you can track the changes that occur on each system. When configured properly, these tools reduce the administrative workload. But instances occur in which you need to interact directly with a PC to make sure it is working properly. When you do so, you need to know which tool is required when and how to get to it fast so that issues are resolved as soon as possible.

NOTE

When issues arise on PCs, you need to determine the extent of the issue and then, determine whether you need to fix it or use another tactic to restore the PC to a functioning state. For example, if a system becomes corrupted and you estimate that it will take more than one hour to fix, then perhaps you should consider rebuilding the PC from scratch instead. Windows Vista offers significant improvements in deployment capabilities, and in some shops, it takes less than 30 minutes to rebuild a PC from the ground up. If this is the case in your shop, then keep this in mind when troubleshooting PC issues. If it takes less time to rebuild the system than it does to repair it, then rebuild it. Your users will be back to work a lot quicker and you won't be wasting your time.

The best place to start is with a list of the tools Windows Vista includes for administration purposes. Tools can be found in a series of different places on the system; therefore, it is important that you build your own desktop to facilitate systems management. Then, after you're aware of the various tools you have access to, you can begin to examine the most common administration tasks you'll need to deal with.

1. Working with workstation administration tools

Vista includes several enhanced tools for administration. You've already worked with several of them as you deployed your systems and created your change management and tracking strategy. Others will let you control each and every aspect of the Vista system. Table 1 lists the various tools you can use and where you can find them. Note that this table focuses on the tasks PC technicians need to perform.

Also, remember that for each of these tools, you must rely on the Run As Administrator command available from the context menu. This elevates the privilege of the tool and lets you perform all administrative tasks.

As you can see, there are many administrative tools in Windows Vista. In fact, it is sometimes difficult to keep up. Obviously, some will be much more useful than others. The best way to deal with these tools is to first, rely on Table 10.1 to figure out the correct tool to use for a specific purpose. Then make the tools you use the most often readily available by placing them on your Quick Launch toolbar. You use the Quick Launch toolbar instead of the Desktop because Quick Launch is always available no matter which tool you are working with. If you rely on the Desktop to place your shortcuts, then you always need to get back to the Desktop to access your tools, an operation which takes more time and several more mouse clicks.

Use the following procedure to prepare your environment:

1. Make sure your Quick Launch Area is displayed and then right-click on the Taskbar. Choose Toolbars => Quick Launch. Do not uncheck it if it is already checked.

2. Size your toolbar appropriately. Make sure that your Taskbar is unlocked by right-clicking it and deselecting the Lock the Taskbar. Doing this lets you view each individual toolbar and its limits in the Taskbar.

3. Double the size of the Taskbar by positioning your cursor at the very top of the Taskbar until your cursor changes to an up-down arrow; then click and drag the Taskbar until it takes up two lines.

4. Now take the Programs toolbar — the one where open programs are listed — by clicking its double-edged border at the left and dragging it to the bottom-left beside the Start button. Programs should now be listed at the bottom and the Quick Launch toolbar should be at the top.

5. Lock the Taskbar again by right-clicking it and checking Lock the Taskbar. Your Taskbar should now look like the one in Figure 1.

   Figure 1. A locked two-line Taskbar displaying the Quick Launch Toolbar

   

6. Now you can begin to populate your Quick Launch Area; do it by locating the item you want to add in the Start Menu, right-clicking it, and selecting Add to Quick Launch. Add the following items:

   • Command Prompt

   • Computer Management

   • Control Panel

   • Help and Support

   • Internet Explorer

   • MBSA

   • Network Monitor

   • Notepad

   • Reliability and Performance Monitor

   • Custom Security Configuration and Analysis and Security Templates

   • Snipping Tool

   • System Configuration

   • System Information

   • System Restore

   • Windows Explorer

   • Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

   • Windows Remote Assistance

   The resulting Taskbar is illustrated in Figure 2. Note that in addition to Quick Launch, this Taskbar also includes the Desktop toolbar. Add it by right-clicking on the Taskbar and selecting Toolbars => Desktop. Just like the Quick Launch toolbar, the Desktop toolbar adds ready access to any items on your desktop.

Obtaining additional administration tools

As you build your Vista management and administration toolkit, you'll notice that you can add a significant number of tools to the default set found in the operating system. For example, when you run Windows Vista without Service Pack 1, the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) is installed by default, but when you run Vista with SP1, it is no longer available. In order to run the GPMC on Vista SP1, you must install a special toolkit called the Remote Server Administration Tools. Another source of tools is the Windows Server 2003 Administration Pack.

RSAT can help you manage environments running with any version of Windows Server from 2008 down. However, the RSAT for Windows Vista does not include all of the tools included in the Windows Server 2003 Administration Pack. For this reason, you might still want to install and run tools from the Windows Server 2003 administration toolkit in order to have access to administration features unavailable with RSAT. Table 2 lists the different tools available with either RSAT or with the Windows Server 2003 Administration Pack.

Table 2. Tools Available in RSAT and the WS03 Administration Pack

Installing the Remote Server Administration Tools

Installing the Remote Server Administration Tools is performed in two steps. The first installs an update on the client system and the second installs the actual tools themselves.

NOTE

If you are installing the RSAT on Windows Vista, you must have at least Service Pack 1 installed.

1. Begin by installing the update. The update for RSAT is available in Knowledge Base article number 941314 at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941314. Download and install this update. Double-click on it to launch the installation process. This process requires elevated rights and is performed through the Windows Update Standalone Installer. Accept the license agreement to begin the installation. Once the installation is complete, the local Administration Tools will include a help topic for the Remote Server Administration Tools.

2. Next, once the update has been installed, you need to enable the new RSAT Windows tools you want to use. Move to Control Panel => Programs and select Turn Windows features on or off. Accept the UAC elevation prompt and scroll down to Remote Server Administration Tools. You'll note that the RSAT section is divided into two subsections: Feature Administration Tools and Role Administration Tools. Expand both and check the tools you need on this system, as shown in Figure 3.

3. Click OK to launch the addition of these tools.

Figure 3. The RSAT Toolkit in Windows Vista

You can also use the Windows Package Manager (pkgmgr.exe) along with the Windows Update Stand-alone Installer (WUSA) to do this with two command lines. The first relies on WUSA to install the update using the update file itself. Using the /quiet switch will perform the operation without user interaction. If you want to see the results, then omit this switch. And the second installs the feature you require. Note that there is a reboot after WUSA runs (first command).

wusa path\Windows6.0-KB941314-x86.msu /quiet
start /w pkgmgr /iu:WindowsAdministrationTools

Where path is the location of the update. You use start /w with Package Manager because it causes the command to wait until the operation is finished before moving to the next command, letting you know when it has completed. Of course, if you are running an x64 version of Vista, you would use the x64 version of the update package. Table 3 lists the available Remote Server Administration Tools in the RSAT package.

NOTE

The Update and feature names used in these commands are case sensitive and must be type exactly as they are displayed. For example, the update name must be Windows6.0-KB941314-x86.msu.

Table 3. Tools Available in RSAT

Tool Type	Full Tool Name
Remote Server Administration Tools
Feature Administration Tools	BitLocker Drive Encryption Tools
	Failover Clustering Tools
	Group Policy Management Tools
	Network Load Balancing Tools
	SMTP Server Tools
	Storage Manager for SANs Tools
	Windows System Resource Manager Tools
Role Administration Tools	Active Directory Certificate Services Tools
	Certificate Authority Tools
	Online Responder Tools
	Active Directory Domain Services Tools
	Active Directory Domain Controller Tools
	Server for NIS Tools
	Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services Tools
	DHCP Server Tools
	DNS Server Tools
	File Services Tools
	Distributed File System Tools
	File Server Resource Manager Tools
	Share and Storage Management Tools
	Terminal Services Tools
	UDDI Services Tools

If you want to add tools for the administration of Internet Information Server, then you must add additional tools on your workstation since they are not included in the RSAT. Once again, these tools are listed in the Windows Features dialog box. You can install tools for the management of the FTP service, IIS version 7.0 and IIS version 6.0, through this dialog box (see Figure 4). You can also install these tools using Package Manager with the following command line:

start /w pkgmgr /iu:IIS-WebServerRole;IIS6ManagementCompatibility
   ;IIS-LegacySnapIn;IIS-Metabase

Figure 4. Adding Web Management Tools to Vista SP1

NOTE

The IIS 6 management tools are also required to manage the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) even if you do not run IIS 6 Web sites.

Installing the Windows Server 2003 Administration Kit

The Windows Server 2003 Administration Kit (AdminPak.msi) provides additional management consoles that are simply not available by default on Vista. But, unless you are using the version available on a server running Service Pack 2, this administration package will not install on Vista whether you have Service Pack 1 or not. In order to get it to run, you will need to first install it, then run a command to register its components on Vista. If you use a server running SP2, then you only need to install it. Use the following procedure to do so:

1. Locate an updated copy of the Administration Kit on one of your servers. Ideally, this server will be running at least Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or even better, WS03 R2 SP2. The adminpak.msi file is located in the %WINDIR%\System32 folder. The easiest way to access this file is to connect to the server's administrative share on the system disk; in most cases, this is \\servername\C$.

2. Navigate to the %WINDIR%\System32 folder, locate adminpak.msi, and copy it to your PC.

3. Double-click the adminpak.msi file once it is copied.

4. Accept the UAC prompt and follow the onscreen instructions.

5. If you used a version from WS03 SP2, then you're done. If for some unknown reason your servers are not at SP2, then copy the following commands into a text file and name it adminpack_vista.cmd. Run it when ready.

   @echo off
   set filelist=adprop.dll azroles.dll azroleui.dll ccfg95.dll
   set filelist=%filelist% certadm.dll certmmc.dll certpdef.dll
      certtmpl.dll
   set filelist=%filelist% certxds.dll cladmwiz.dll clcfgsrv.dll
      clnetrex.dll
   set filelist=%filelist% cluadmex.dll cluadmmc.dll cmproxy.dll

   for %%i in (%filelist%) do (
   echo Registering %%i ...
   regsvr32 /s %%i
   )
   echo.
   Echo All done!

   
   

Not all tools are useful, but if you are part of a large network, you'll see that many of them are.

This installation is monolithic; it does not let you choose which tools to install. If you want to install only specific tools, for example, Active Directory tools, without any of the other tools, then use a command line to do so. The following command line installs the AD tools and only these tools. Make sure that you use an elevated Command Prompt.

msiexec /i adminpak.msi ADDLOCAL=FeADTools /qb

Doing this helps keep your system uncluttered with tools you do not need.

NOTE
