Hi,

 

What Administrative Tools do you mean, Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 or others?

 

If you have not turned on Remote Server Administration Tools in Windows Features after installing, you may perform the following steps to turn them on:

 

4. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Programs.

  1. In the Programs and Features area, click Turn Windows features on or off.

  2. If you are prompted by User Account Control to enable the Windows Features dialog box to open, click Continue.

  3. In the Windows Features dialog box, expand Remote Server Administration Tools.

  4. Select the remote management tools that you want to install.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Configure the Start menu to display the Administration Tools shortcut, if it is not already there.

• Right-click Start, and then click Properties.

• On the Start Menu tab, click Customize.

• In the Customize Start Menu dialog box, scroll down to System Administrative Tools, and then select Display on the All Programs menu and the Start menu. Click OK. Shortcuts for snap-ins installed by Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 are added to the Administrative Tools list on the Start menu.

If it does not work, you may also try to uninstall and reinstall them to check the result.
