[Windows Server 2012] Tuning the Tools Menu in Server Manager

The new Server Manager Console in one of the great new features of Windows Server 2012.

It reminds me a famous quote :
One Console to rule them all, One Console to find them,
One Console to bring them all and in Server Manager bind them

The Tools Menu contains all the administrative Tools of the server.





You can create a folder structure on the Tools menu to organize your Tools as you want.

For this you have to create a folder in the Administrative Tools folder. This can't be done directly as you can't create folders in this folder.
So, create a folder elsewhere and move the folder in the Administrative Tools folder.
It's as simple as that.

For example I create one folder for AD Tools.



And then I move the Administrative Tools in this folder.




You can also add other Tools, you just have to create a shortcut and move it in the Administratives Tools.

For example my server has Script Explorer installed on it.
I just copy the shortcut.




You can also launch script directly from the Server Manager using the same method.




As you can see you can add many things in the Tools Menu of the new Server Manager Console.

And if you don't want to use the new Metro UI, you can consolidate all your Tools in the Server Manager Console.
