Windows 7 allows you to manage roles and features for remotely administered computers running Server 2008 R2, Server 2008, or Server 2003. If you require access to these servers you must download the tools from Microsoft and install them. These tools can only be installed on computers that are running Windows 7 Enterprise, Professional, or Ultimate editions.
To begin the installation option go to:

Installing the administration tools does not install any roles or features on the local computer.
