Youcan't install RSAT on computers that are running Home or Standard editions of Windows. You can install RSAT only on Professional or Enterprise editions of the Windows client operating system. Unless the download page specifically states that RSAT applies to a beta, preview, or other prerelease version of Windows, you must be running a full (RTM) release of the Windows operating system to install and use RSAT. Some users have found ways of manually cracking or hacking the RSAT MSU to install RSAT on unsupported releases or editions of Windows. This behavior is a violation of the Windows end-user license agreement.
Installing RSAT is similar to installing Adminpak.msi in Windows 2000-based or Windows XP-based client computers. However, there's one major difference: in Windows 7, the tools aren't automatically available after you download and install RSAT. Enable the tools that you want to use by using Control Panel. To enable the tools, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features, and then select Turn Windows features on or off.
If you have to install management tools in Windows Server 2012 R2 for specific roles or features that are running on remote servers, you don't have to install additional software. Start the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Windows Server 2012 R2 and later versions. Then, on the Select Features page, expand Remote Server Administration Tools, and then select the tools that you want to install. Complete the wizard to install your management tools.
Installing the RSAT Tools for Windows 10 version 1809 and later version is slightly different from earlier versions. RSAT is now part of the Operating System and can be added via Optional Features.
Note: Starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the RSAT tools no longer need to be downloaded. They are now included with the Windows build and just need to be installed. RSAT tools are only supported on Windows Pro and Enterprise versions of Windows 10 and 11.
I have Windows 11 Home version 22H2.
I do not find RSAT tools under Optional Features.
I try to install Active Directory from PowerShell without success.
Looks like it gets stuck during PowerShell installation.
I have patiently and faithfully reinstalled Remote Server Administration tools (RSAT) on my Windows 10 (pro) Workstation after each feature update (and Early Release build), but now it's partially broken and I'd like to do a clean reinstall, but:
I'm down this road because e.g, DHCP works, but DNS does not... I could probably cobble something together with files from another machine, but I'd have more confidence in a tool I depend on every day if I could do a normal install.
If you're using Microsoft Windows Server 2019, specifically build 1809 or later, then you need to install RSAT through Features On Demand. Some people report enabling WSUS helps, too, although it's not 100% clear why (it might depend on whether your organization uses SCCM vs. Windows Update repository for updates).
Note that scripts I found on TechNet Gallery, as well as guides published by Packt Publishing's Windows Server 2019 Automation with PowerShell Cookbook 3rd Ed, do not seem to actually work if you use SCCM like we do. Notably, Get-WindowsCapability -Online only returns the set of capabilities your SCCM server allows clients to see, so these tools erroneously say that RSAT is installed, rather than verifying they're installed.

App Volumes is probably one of the coolest technologies out right now. When VMware bought them, the first thing I thought is that we now finally have the means to control the virtual desktop, soup to nuts. We can make minute changes, have versioning, and quickly react to new challenges presented to us in various use cases.
Recommended practice for your provisioning machine is to keep it as clean as possible, only putting the bare essentials in the OS so that the app layer you are trying to capture only contains the application information. Unfortunately with RSAT Tools, there is no application to install, but rather features that you can enable with a Windows Update that can be found here: -us/download/details.aspx?id=7887
To enable RSAT Tools in an App Stack, install the above Windows Update on both the provisioning PC and the Gold Image that is used as the parent machine for your vdi pool. Create a new App Stack or update an existing Stack and attach it to the provisioning machine. Head over to the Control Panel, open Programs and Features, and click on Turn Windows features on or off. Under Windows Features, choose Remote Server Administration Tools, and then enable the features you want users that will subscribe to the App Stack to have. At this point, you can finish the provisioning, and reboot the provisioning machine. The only thing left to do is attach the App Stack to a user desktop and test the functionality.
Loving all this App Volume testing and postings. Great to see how people are leveraging it, working through it and validating it. Would love to see reference architecture from VMware on it and multi-site configuration settings now that Cloud-Pod is in the world. Very curious how writeable volumes will be approached and embraced with persona management for user data, and writeable volumes for that app data (app local). That way we could leverage DFS/DFS-R for desktop, documents and bulkier data on CIFS storage and App specific data/user installed applications on Faster disk to provide that instant gratification for end users.
In our installation, we utilize the gold image for the pool for the capture machines. If the gold image gets updated, then the capture machines do too. For RSAT, we mounted the AppStack (an IT department appstack) installed the RSAT tools (Windows patch) and then enabled the tools with the dism commands.
Just installed this yesterday, but in a bit different fashion. We utilize the base or Golden Image for the pool as the capture machine. If the base gets changed, the capture machine does too. For RSAT, we updated out IT department AppStack, and provisioned it to our capture machines. We then installed the RSAT Windows Update mentioned, and enabled the toos using the dism commands on the command line.
It appears that in AppVolumes v2.11 installing RSAT into an appstack only works partially. AD features seemed to work fine, but the MMC failed to show settings for GPOs in the settings tab. As a solution, we implemented the OP suggested and installed RSAT in the base and enabled the features in the IT Dept AppStack.
RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) refers to a set of tools from Microsoft that enable IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server from a computer that is running Windows 11, Windows 10 or Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1). For these computers, RSAT includes many tools to manage the various roles and features that run on Windows Server, such as Server Manager, Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins, consoles and PowerShell cmdlets.
RSAT enables system admins to run snap-ins and tools from a Windows 11/10/7 SP1 PC to remotely manage Windows Server features, roles and role services. Previously, they had to individually log in to the specific server they wanted to manage. But, with RSAT's graphical user interface-based tools and snap-ins, any admin can easily manage multiple servers remotely. Since it simplifies the administration of Windows Server, they can save both time and effort in server management, maintenance and optimization.
Admins should note that RSAT can only be installed on the Professional or Enterprise editions of the Windows client OS (Windows 11/10/7). It cannot be installed on computers that are running the Home or Standard editions of these OSes. RSAT runs on both x86-based and x64-based editions of Windows 10.
In Windows 7, RSAT tools are not automatically available after RSAT has been downloaded and installed. Admins must enable the tools they need from Control Panel. Under Control Panel, clicking on Programs and Features and then on Turn Windows features on or off enables admins to manage Windows Server systems after running the downloaded installation package.
In Windows 10 and Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise editions, RSAT is part of the OS. Its tools are available on demand as optional features. So, instead of having to download a standalone RSAT package for these OSes, admins can see and access the available tools from within the OS.
RSAT tools cannot be used to manage a local client computer. Admins must specify one or more remote servers on which one or more tools runs. RSAT can be used to manage specific technologies on computers running Windows Server 2019, 2016 or 2012 R2. On all these servers, remote management is enabled by default. In some limited cases, computers running Windows Server 2012 or 2008 R2 can also be managed with RSAT.
Also, to install and run RSAT, admins must ensure that they run a full released-to-manufacturing (RTM) version of Windows. Any admin -- and, by extension, organization -- who manually cracks or hacks the RSAT Windows Update Standalone Installer file to install RSAT on unsupported Windows releases or editions would be in violation of the Windows end-user license agreement. The only exception to this rule is if the download page specifically states that RSAT applies to a beta, preview or pre-release version of Windows, allowing admins to run RSAT on a non-RTM release of Windows.
The RSAT set in Windows 10 and 11 also includes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server tools, such as the DHCP management console and the Network Shell command-line tool, as well as domain name system server tools, including the DNS Manager snap-in and the DNS module for Windows PowerShell. There is also the dnscmd.exe command-line utility; file services tools, such as share and storage management tools; and distributed file system tools, as well as tools for failover clustering, group policy management, IP address management and network load balancing.
