Installing RSAT on Windows 10

​Since the Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the Remote Server Administration Tools have been included as a set of “Features on Demand” within Windows 10. In the past I have found the GUI method of installing optional features in a Windows 10 system that is on a Domain to be really hit or miss, so I personally prefer to save myself a headache and just add optional features via PowerShell.

First to see the RSAT features available to you, open up PowerShell as an administrator and type the following:

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

This produces a nice table which displays the RSAT feature in a reading friendly format, and states whether it is installed or not (State of Present or NotPresent).

Now that you know what RSAT tools you have available to you (or which ones you have installed already), you can add the feature you want by using the Add-WindowsCapability Cmdlet. 
To install all RSAT tools at once, you can run the command: 

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

To install the features one by one, you can use any of the following commands:

Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name “Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.FileServices.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.IPAM.Client.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.LLDP.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.NetworkController.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.NetworkLoadBalancing.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
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.FailoverCluster.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.RemoteAccess.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.RemoteDesktop.Services.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ServerManager.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.Shielded.VM.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.StorageMigrationService.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.StorageReplica.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.SystemInsights.Management.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


If you already have some features installed, you can use the following command to install the missing features:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online |? {$_.Name -like "*RSAT*" -and $_.State -eq "NotPresent"} | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

Remote Server Administration Tools include Windows PowerShell cmdlet modules that can be used to manage the roles and features that run on Windows servers. Although PowerShell remote management is enabled by default on Server 2016, it is not enabled by default on Windows 10. To run cmdlets that are part of RSAT against a remote server, run the following command in an Administrative session of PowerShell:

Enable-PSremoting
