Overview 

The Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows (RSAT) component required by Cayosoft Administrator to connect to and use Active Directory as a source system for various administrative tasks.

Because Active Directory is often used as a source system for other extensions, the Remote Server Administration Tools must be installed for setup to be completed.

When installing Cayosoft Administrator on a Windows workstation computer, you must download and install the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows.
