Ned here - this is a quick post that can't wait for the Microsoft.com machine to spin up. :-)

After you install this, open Control Panel and start Programs and Features . Click Turn Windows Features on or off then scroll down to the Remote Server Administration Tools . From there you can turn on everything, certain things, or... nothing. Your call, unlike the old ADMINPAK.MSI...
