Group Policy Management Console and RSAT
I suppose I could have expanded the title, but then it would cramp the page. 
Today’s scenario. Co-worker running vista, installs the Remote Server Administration Tools package, pops into the Administrative Tools folder and cannot find the Group Policy Management Console.
The solution? The GPMC is disabled by default after installing RSAT. You need to visit Programs and Features in the Control Panel, and then click on the Turn Windows features on or off link to bring up what used to be called Windows Components. From that dialog, you can scroll down to find the Remote Server Administration Tools node and click the checkbox for each admin tool you need access to.
While you are in there, enable the telnet client. Been asked before where telnet disappeared to in Vista. It’s there, just not on by default.
For more information on the RSAT, visit KB 941314. It describes the tools and limitations of RSAT. Also, RSAT does not include the Hyper-V manager console. That can be downloaded with this link and more information is available in KB 952627.
