Here is the missing piece.

After Clicking Optional Features, Click the View features at the top then you can scroll down to the RSAT options.  Click the check box and then Next to install.

Hope that helps.

@romariormr 

I am including both steps here.

Run PowerShell as admin, then:

# Get RSAT items that are not currently installed:
$install = Get-WindowsCapability -Online |
  Where-Object {$_.Name -like "RSAT*" -AND $_.State -eq "NotPresent"}

# Install the RSAT items that meet the filter:
foreach ($item in $install) {
  try {
    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name $item.name
  }
  catch [System.Exception] {
    Write-Warning -Message $_.Exception.Message
  }
}

I managed to install RSAT in W11 by following the registry fix, remember to backup your registry before attempting this.
1.-If you have a corporate computer or domain joined, most probably is you have WSUS, this has to be not present for RSAT to install, make sure the user is admin of the W11 machine temporaly or wont show up in Additional features.
2.-Install RSAT KB from Microsoft page.
3.-Stop Windows Update Service
4.-Navigate your Regedit.exe — «HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU» , set UseWUServer key to 0.
5.-Start Windows Update Service
6.-Install now RSAT either using GUI or Powershell or CMD, will work.

Cant believe just yet this is the only way to get through , also, that new error message «couldn’t install» Is the most frustrating thing I had ever seen. It does not helps at all! Hope Microsoft does changes that!

Cheers!

Is because the user is not having the KB installed of it, I was using my admin account to install , but must be the user account in order for them to apper to that session.

Thanks for posting this.
Just moved to Win11 on my work laptop and was finding it a real pita to get the AD Users and Computers tool installed which I occasionally need to quickly & easily check AD objects.
Like many others, I found the Apps>Optional Features method suggested on most sites just doesn’t show anything when you search for «rsat» but this powershell method works nicely.

For the benefit of anyone (like me) who just wants to install a specific tool from the RSAT — e.g. DSA.msc — the $_.Name attribute is different to $_.DisplayName shown in ammarjaved’s example: Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, State

To see the $_.Name attribute needed when calling the Add-WindowsCapability cmdlet, just use:
Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property Name, State

You’re welcome. I was in a similar situation as you, upgrading to Windows 11 22H2 from 21H2 and forgot that I would lose all of these features in the upgrade. I had to dig through all of my PowerShell scripts to find the one I use for this. I stripped out a bunch of extra stuff to make it a bit simpler, though it does take a long time to install all of the features.

@aswan1380, this can be done similar to the method used to install the RSAT tools.

Again, open PowerShell as admin, then run the following code, which will remove all RSAT tools that are currently installed.

# Get RSAT items that are currently installed:
$remove = Get-WindowsCapability -Online |
    Where-Object {$_.Name -like "RSAT*" -AND $_.State -eq "Installed"}

# Remove the RSAT items that meet the filter:
foreach ($item in $remove) {
    try {
        Remove-WindowsCapability -Online -Name $item.Name
    }
    catch [System.Exception] {
        Write-Warning -Message $_.Exception.Message
    }
}

установить компоненты rsat в Windows онлайн

После установки некоторых компонентов RSAT может потребоваться перезагрузка.

Компоненты RSAT не включены в состав Windows, а поставляются в виде Функции по требованию (Features on Demand). Это значит, что для установки RSAT ваш компьютер должен быть подключен к интернету. Windows загрузит и установит необходимые файлы с серверов Microsoft Update.

В предыдущих версиях Windows (до билда Windows 10 1809) пакет удаленного администрирования серверов RSAT устанавливался в виде отдельного файла MSU обновления, которое нужно было вручную скачивать и установить с сайта Microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520)

После установки пакета KB2693643 вы можете включить необходимые компоненты RSAT в разделе Control Panel -> Programs and Feature -> Turn Windows features on or off (
optionalfeatures.exe
). Разверните Remote Server Administration Tools и выберите необходимые компоненты для установки.

Включить компоненты RSAT в предыдущих версиях Windows

Если попытаться установить KB2693643 на более новых билдах Windows 10 или 11, появится ошибка:

Windows Update Standalone Installer encountered and error: 0x8024001d

После установки, графические mmc оснастки RSAT будут доступны в панели управления в секции Administrative Tools (Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools) или в папке:
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
.

Запустить rsat из Administrative Tools

Установка RSAT в Windows с помощью PowerShell

Вы можете установить компоненты администрирования RSAT в Windows 10 и 11 с помощью PowerShell.

С помощью следующей PowerShell команды можно вывести список компонентов RSAT, установленных на вашем компьютере:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, State

В нашем примере инструменты управления DHCP и DNS установлены (
Installed
), а все остальные модуль RSAT отсутствуют (
NotPresent
).

Get-WindowsCapability вывести список установленных компонентов rsat с помощью powershell

Для установки RSAT в Windows используется PowerShell командлет Add-WindowsCapability.

Чтобы установить конкретный инструмент RSAT, например инструменты управления AD (в том числе консоль ADUC из модуля Active Directory для Windows Powershell), выполните команду:

Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Для установки консоли управления DNS и модуля PowerShell DNSServer, выполните:

Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

И т.д.

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.BitLocker.Recovery.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.CertificateServices.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.DHCP.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.VolumeActivation.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Чтобы установить сразу все доступные инструменты RSAT, выполните:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online

Также вы можете установить компоненты RSAT с помощью утилиты DISM:

DISM.exe /Online /add-capability /CapabilityName:Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 /CapabilityName:Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 /CapabilityName:Rsat.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Чтобы установить только отсутствующие компоненты RSAT, выполните:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | where State -EQ NotPresent | Add-WindowsCapability –Online

Add-WindowsCapability в Windows 10 1809 Rsat.LLDP.Tools

Теперь убедитесь, что инструменты RSAT установлены (статус Installed);

Как установить Remote Server Administration Tools в Windows Server 2022,2019,2016?

В Windows Server для установки RSAT не нужен доступ в интернет. Компоненты RSAT можно устанавливать при установке соответствующих ролей или фич Windows Server, либо можно установить их через Server Manager (Add roles and Features -> Features -> Remote Server Administration Tools). Все компоненты RSAT разбиты на две секции: Feature Administration Tools и Role Administration Tools. Выберите необходимые компоненты и нажмите Next -> Next.

windows server: установка RSAT через Server Manager

Для установки RSAT в Windows Server используется командлет установки компонентов и ролей — Install-WindowsFeature. Вывести список доступных компонентов RSAT в Windows Server 2022, 2019 и 2016:

Get-WindowsFeature| Where-Object {$_.name -like "*RSAT*"}| ft Name,Installstate

Для установки выбранного компонента RSAT, укажите его имя. Например, установим консоль диагностики лицензирования RDS:

Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-RDS-Licensing-Diagnosis-UI

windows server: установить компоненты rsat с помощью командлета powershell Install-WindowsFeature

Установить консоль удаленного управления Hyper-V Manager и PowerShell модуль Hyper-V:

Get-WindowsFeature | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools"}| Install-WindowsFeature -IncludeAllSubFeature

Установленные графические консоли RSAT доступны из Server Manager или через панель управления.

Ошибка 0x800f0954 при установке RSAT в Windows

Если ваш компьютер Windows настроен на получение обновлений с локального сервера обновлений WSUS или SCCM (Configuration Manager) SUP, то при установке RSAT из графического интерфейса, Add-WindowsCapability или DISM вы получите ошибку.

Add-WindowsCapability ошибка установки rsat 0x800f0954

В этом случае Windows будет пытаться загрузить пакет RSAT с вашего локального сервера обновлений и вернет ошибку 0x800f0954:

Чтобы игнорировать локальный WSUS при установке дополнительных компонентов Windows и Features On Demand (в том числе RSAT) нужно настроить специальный параметр групповых политики:

  1. Откройте редактор локальной GPO –
    gpedit.msc
    или используйте доменную консоль управления GPO –
    gpmc.msc
    );
  2. Перейдите в раздел Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System;
  3. Включите политику Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair, и включите опцию Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) (опция “Скачайте содержимое для восстановления и дополнительные компненты непосредственно из Центра обновления Windows вместо использования службы WSUS”);gpo: Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair
  4. Сохраните изменения и обновите настройки групповых политик (
    gpupdate /force
    ).
  5. Перезапустите службу Windows Update:
    net stop wuauserv
    net start wuauserv

Теперь установка RSAT через PowerShell или DISM должна выполняться без ошибок.

Некоторые параметры реестра могут блокировать подключение к Microsoft Update при получении компонентов RSAT. Если при установке RSAT появляется ошибка 0x8024002e, измените значения следующий параметров реестра в ветке
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
:

  • DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations = 0
  • DisableWindowsUpdateAccess = 0

Затем перезапустите службу wuauserv.

Установка RSAT в Windows в офлайн режиме

Если вы не можете открыть прямой доступ с рабочей станции к серверам Microsoft Update, вы можете воспользоваться офлайн установкой RSAT (рекомендуется для корпоративных сетей без прямого доступа в Интернет).

Windows 10 дополнительные возможности - Компоненты для установки отсутствуют

Для офлайн установки RSAT нужно скачать ISO образ диска с компонентами FoD для вашей версии Windows 10/11 с сайта Microsoft или из личного кабинета на сайте лицензирования Microsoft (Volume Licensing Service Center, VLSC):

  • Для Windows 10 2004 — https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/language-packs (FOD Disk 1 ISO)
  • Для Windows 11 21H2/22H2- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-11-language-packs (Language and Optional Features ISO)

Например, для Windows 10 2004 x64 нужно скачать образ 19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_amd64fre_FOD-PACKAGES_OEM_PT1_amd64fre_MULTI.iso (около 5 Гб). Распакуйте образ в сетевую папку. У вас получится набор *.cab файлов, среди которых есть компоненты RSAT.

Теперь для установки компонентов RSAT на рабочей станции Windows нужно указывать путь к данному сетевому каталогу с FoD в параметре -Source:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source \\msk-fs01\Distr\Windows-FOD\Win101903x64\

Add-WindowsCapability установить компоненты rsat из сетевой папки

Также вы можете указать путь к каталогу с компонентами FoD с помощью указанной выше групповой политики. Для этого в параметре Alternative source file path нужно указать UNC путь к каталогу с файлами FoD.

Или можете задать этот параметр через реестр отдельной политикой, указав путь к каталогу в параметр LocalSourcePath (тип REG_Expand_SZ) в ветке реестра HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Servicing.

После этого, пользователи смогут самостоятельно устанавливать компоненты RSAT через графический интерфейс добавления компонент Windows 10.

Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) allow system administrators to manage Windows servers from their own computers without having to log in to each one individually. This makes network management very easy, especially when you have a large network of servers.

Microsoft releases RSAT tools separately for each Windows version. In Windows 10 version 1803 or earlier, users had to download RSAT tools and install them manually to enable it.

In Windows 10 version 1809 and later, Microsoft simplified the installation of RSAT tools. RSAT tools were integrated into the “optional features” section inside the Settings app. This is sufficient for the user to enable the RSAT components and Windows will automatically download, install, and enable them.

Now that Windows 11 has been released, let’s check how we can download, install and enable RSAT tools in Windows 11.

How to Install RSAT on Windows 11

Follow these steps to install RSAT tools on Windows 11:

  1. Navigate to:

    Settings app >> Apps >> Optional features
  2. Click “View features.”

    View optional features

    View optional features

    The “Add an optional feature” window will now open.

  3. Search for “RSAT.”

    Search for RSAT

    Search for “RSAT”
  4. Select the RSAT tools that you want to install and click Next.

    Select and install RSAT tools

    Select and install RSAT tools
  5. Confirm the components and click Install.

    Install RSAT tools in Windows 11

    Install RSAT tools in Windows 11

The RSAT tools will now begin downloading and installing on your PC. Once they are fully installed and ready to be used, they will be visible under the “Installed Features” section:

RSAT tools has been installed

RSAT tool has been installed

How to Install RSAT using PowerShell in Windows 11

For sysadmins who want advanced stuff, RSAT tools can also be installed using PowerShell. The beauty of using PowerShell is that you will be able to install RSAT tools even on remote computers.

To install all RSAT tools using PowerShell with Administrator privileges, run the following cmdlet in an elevated PowerShell instance:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

To install a specific module, you’ll need to give the name of the module instead of the “*”.

First, list down all the available RSAT tools. Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property Name, State.

For example, here is the output when I run this command on my computer:

Get WindowsCapability command to list all rsat tools

Get WindowsCapability command to list all rsat tools
  1. Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools Rsat.AzureStack.HCI.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  2. Rsat.BitLocker.Recovery.Tools Rsat.CertificateServices.Tools Rsat.DHCP.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  3. Rsat.Dns.ToolsotPresent Rsat.FailoverCluster.Management.Tools Rsat.FileServices.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  4. Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools Rsat.IPAM.Client.Tools Rsat.LLDP.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  5. Rsat.NetworkController.Tools Rsat.NetworkLoadBalancing.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  6. Rsat.RemoteAccess.Management.Tools Rsat.RemoteDesktop.Services.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  7. Rsat.ServerManager.Tools Rsat.StorageMigrationService.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  8. Rsat.StorageReplica.Tools Rsat.SystemInsights.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  9. Rsat.VolumeActivation.Tools Rsat.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Copy the name of the tool you want to install and run the command, such as follows:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat.BitLocker.Recovery.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

In the above mentioned command, I’m installing the RSAT bitlocker module.

To install all the modules simultaneously, run the following command instead:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

How to Run the Installed Remote Server Administration Tools on Windows 11

While Microsoft is making installing RSAT tools easier, it is certainly not easy to find where they have been installed and how to run them. You can search in Windows Search or in the Start Menu if you know the name of the tool. Or you should go to the following location:

Start Menu >> All apps >> Windows tools

This will open a folder where you will find all the RSAT tools installed on this computer. Double-click on any tool to run it.

After running the tool, manage the respective component of different servers directly from your Windows PC.

Closing Thoughts

The Remote Server Administrator Tool (RSAT) is the one tool that is often overlooked. Admins are often used to the fact that they can remotely log into any computer and server on the domain, that they forget the fact that there is an even easier method of managing the many different servers in their network.

If you have not used the RSAT tools on your Windows PC before, we recommend that you do so, even if you have only one server to manage. You will find this tool very convenient and time-saving to use.

The quickest way is using the Settings menu.

Installing the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 11 is not as complicated as you might think. We’ve prepared three tested methods that are quick and easy to follow. We’ve also compiled an RSAT crashes guide just in case you bump into any problems.

Is RSAT available for Windows 11?

RSAT is available on all OSs from Windows 7, including Windows 11. This excellent tool allows for remote management of other systems running the same operating system. Below are some of its features:

How we test, review and rate?

We have worked for the past 6 months on building a new review system on how we produce content. Using it, we have subsequently redone most of our articles to provide actual hands-on expertise on the guides we made.

For more details you can read how we test, review, and rate at WindowsReport.

  • Group Policy Management: RSAT contains a Group Policy Management tool that includes a Group Policy Management Console, Group Policy Management Editor, and Group Policy Starter GPO Editor.
  • Hyper-V management: Another excellent feature of this feature is the Hyper-V management tool. This includes the Hyper-V Manager snap-in and the Virtual Machine Connection remote access tool. While the Hyper-V feature is available as an option on Windows 11, you can still use it with RSAT.
  • Best Practices Analyzer: This contains the cmdlets for Windows PowerShell.

How can I install RSAT on Windows 11?

  1. Press the Start menu button in the Taskbar.
  2. Now click the Settings icon.
  3. From the left-side menu, select Apps, then click on Optional Features on the right-side menu.
  4. Now click on the View features button, which is colored blue.
  5. Type RSAT in the search tab and select all the variants you want to install. Click Next to proceed.
