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.

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

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.

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”);
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.

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).

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\

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.

Частые ошибки установки Remote Server Administration Tools в Windows

• 0x8024402c, 0x80072f8f – Windows не может поучить доступ к серверам обновления Windows для получения компонентов RSAT. Проверьте доступ в интернет или установите компоненты из локального образа FoD:
  Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source E:\RSAT\
• 0x800f081f – проверьте путь к каталогу с компонентами RSAT, указанному в параметре –Source;
• 0x800f0950 – ошибка аналогична 0x800f0954;

How to Install Remote Server Administration Tools on Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016

No Internet access is required to install RSAT on Windows Server. The RSAT tools can be installed when you install the appropriate roles or features of Windows Server, or you can install them by using the Server Manager (Add Roles and Features -> Features -> Remote Server Administration Tools).  All RSAT components are divided into two sections: Feature Administration Tools and Role Administration Tools. Select the tools you want to install and click Next -> Next.

Use the Install-WindowsFeature cmdlet to install RSAT on Windows Server. List RSAT tools available on Windows Server 2022, 2019, and 2016:

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

Specify the name of the selected RSAT component to be installed. For example, let’s install the RDS Licensing Diagnosis console:

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

Install the Hyper-V Manager remote management console and the Hyper-V PowerShell module:

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

You can access installed graphical RSAT consoles from Server Manager or through the Control Panel.

Fix RSAT Installation Error 0x800f0954 on Windows

If your Windows computer is configured to receive updates from a local update server (WSUS) or SCCM (Configuration Manager) SUP, you will receive an error message when you try to install RSAT using  the GUI, Add-WindowsCapability or DISM:

0x800f0954
No features to install

In this case, Windows attempts to download the RSAT package from your local update server and returns 0x800f0954 error.

To ignore local WSUS during the installation of additional Windows features and Features On Demand (including RSAT), you must enable a special Group Policy option

1. Open the local GPO editor gpedit.msc or use the domain Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc);
2. Go to the  Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System;
3. Enable the policy Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair, and check the option Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS);
4. Save the changes and update Group Policy settings (gpupdate /force);
5. Restart the Windows Update service:
   net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv

The installation of RSAT using PowerShell or DISM should now be completed without any errors.

Offline Install RSAT on Windows Using the FoD ISO Image

If you cannot access the Microsoft Update servers directly from your workstation, you can use the offline installation of RSAT (recommended for disconnected networks without Internet access).

You must download the ISO image containing the FoD components for your version of Windows from the Microsoft website (or from the Volume Licensing Service Center, VLSC) in order to install RSAT offline.

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

For example, for Windows 10 22H2 x64 you need to download the image file 19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_amd64fre_FOD-PACKAGES_OEM_PT1_amd64fre_MULTI.iso (about 5 GB). Extract the contents of the ISO image to the shared network folder. You will get a set of *.CAB files, including RSAT components.

Now, to install RSAT components on a Windows workstation, specify the path to this shared network directory with FoD in the -Source parameter:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source \\fs01\Windows-FOD\Win102004x64\

You can also use the above Group Policy option to specify the path to the directory containing the FoD image components. Specify the UNC path to the directory containing the FoD files in the Alternative source file path parameter.

Or, you can set this parameter in the registry with a GPP by specifying the path to the FoD directory in the LocalSourcePath parameter (REG_Expand_SZ) under the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Servicing.
Users will now be able to install the RSAT components in Windows on their own using the graphical interface of Manage Optional Features.

Common Remote Server Administration Tools Installation Errors on Windows:

• 0x8024402c, 0x80072f8f – Windows cannot access the Microsoft Update servers to download RSAT files. Check that you have Internet access or install the components from a local FoD image: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source E:\RSAT\
• 0x800f081f – check the path to the directory containing the RSAT components specified in the  –Source parameter;
• 0x800f0950 – the error is similar to 0x800f0954;
• 0x80070490 – check and repair your Windows image using DISM: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) for Windows 10 can be installed through multiple ways. We can install it through PowerShell, dism command line using online method (by connecting to internet), or we can install it in offline mode as well using Feature on Demand package.

What is RSAT

RSAT is a set of tools which helps Administrators to remotely manage roles and features of Windows Server such as Group Policy Management editor, Active Directory users and Computers etc from your local computer running Windows 10 or Windows 7. You can install RSAT only on Professional or Enterprise edition of the Windows client operating system. Check here for more details on Remote Server Administration Tools.

If you are thinking on how to install ad on Windows 10, which refers to download active directory administrative tools using RSAT tools.

Starting onwards Windows 10 version 1809 (Windows 10 October 2018 Update), Microsoft have included RSAT for Windows 10 as set of “Features on Demand” in it.

List of RSAT Windows 10 Components

Microsoft RSAT tools consists of various features, or we can say multiple packages which we can use separately depending upon our needs. I am demonstrating this installation on Windows 10 21H1 (OS Build 19043)

Run following PowerShell command to see list of available RSAT tools:

Get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat* -Online | Select -Property Name, DisplayName

RSAT tools can be installed in multiple ways depending upon your situation and how you want to install it. I will cover all scenarios. I am picking 1 specific component ie. Active Directory Users and Computers from the above list, however you can use the method for any other component as well.

RSAT can easily be install through settings app. Follow the steps to install RSAT tools:

• Click on Start menu, type “Add Optional feature” and launch it. This will take you to Settings > Apps > Optional Features
• Click on Add a feature, search for RSAT to display list of available tools, select “RSAT: Active Directory Domain Services and Lightweight Directory Services Tools” to install.

You may check How to install RSAT using SCCM ( Configuration Manager )

Below mentioned installation methods could be more useful for automatic the solution.

Install RSAT Tools using PowerShell

To install RSAT using PowerShell, lets try to find which RSAT component is available for Active Directory Users and Computers. As mentioned in above table, I shared the command to show all RSAT tools, you can find the name of the tool ie. Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0. We can also narrow it down above mentioned list by running following PowerShell command with elevated rights:

get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat.Active* -Online

Now we know the name of the tool, and can see the status showing as NotPresent. Lets install it using command:

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

(Note: -Online doesn’t mean that you are connected to internet, rather it means you are making change into operating system while it up and running)

If you are not connected to internet you will get error code 0x8024402c, which indicates either you are not connected to internet, or there is WSUS / SCCM configuration in place for the workstation.

In case internet connectivity or direct Microsoft connection is not there because of WSUS / Configuration Manager settings applied, you can use Feature on Demand (FOD) iso which can serve as a source to install the tool. Mount Feature-on-Demand ISO and run following PowerShell command:

Add-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Online -Source D:

(where -LimitAccess prevents the system contacting the internet, -source points to FOD directory, -LogPath is optional if you want to capture the install status)

For removal of RSAT component, you can use following command:

remove-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -Online

Install RSAT Tools using Command Prompt

We will use Dism command (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool) version 10.0.19041.844 which is inbuilt into Windows 10 and can be run via cmd prompt.

To check the status of the tool, run following command:

dism /online /get-capabilityinfo /capabilityname:Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

State is showing as “Not present”

To install with internet and direct access to Microsoft without WSUS/SCCM in place, run the command:

dism /online /add-capability /capabilityname:Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

If you see error code 0x8024402c (because of internet access issue), run following command using a source (Feature On Demand source), run the command:

If you see the exit code 0x800f081f, it means the source location specified doesn’t contain the required files to install the tool.

Conclusion

We can see the RSAT tools can be installed in multiple ways. Whether you use PowerShell, Dism command, the important thing to remember is whether you are directly connected to internet or not, whether there is wsus /configuration manager in place which can stop you downloading from internet. If thats the case, use Feature on Demand iso provided by Microsoft which contains the source of RSAT tool you are looking for.
