Here is the scenario. Deployed Windows 8 Professional, 64 bit. Yes, RTM. Yes, build 9200. Yes this is available since August 16. Yes Windows is activated. Works great!
Now obviously I need RSAT tools to manage all aspects of infrastructure - AD, DHCP, DNS, CA, etc. So I need RSAT tools. Checked Internet and quickly found that RSAT is not RTM yet - Preview can be installed using some workaround described here:

Ok, no problem. Used this workaround, 5 minutes and RSAT is installed and working. But cannot find one component: Remote Desktops. Not Remote Desktop Connection (MSTSC.EXE) but "Remote Desktops.msc" which is MMC console where you can add multiple servers
and switch between them with one mouse click. I need this to manage all my servers.
So the obvious question is: where is this MMC snap-in? Is it going to be included in the RTM version of RSAT for Windows 8?
Some shocking news: just installed Windows Server 2012 RTM (yes, it has been released too!) and Remote Desktops is not even listed there.
If you have any info - please let me know! Without Remote Desktop life will become hell!
