Remote server administration tools for windows 10 21h1

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.WSUS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0	RSAT: Windows Server Update Services Tools

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.

Набор компонентов RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools / Средства удаленного администрирования сервера) позволяет удаленно управлять серверными ролями и компонентами на серверах Windows Server с обычной рабочей станции . В RSAT входят как графические MMC оснастки, так и утилиты командной строки, и модули PowerShell. Вы можете установить RSAT как на десктопных версиях Windows 10 или 11, так и на платформе Windows Server. В этой статье мы покажем, как установить RSAT в Windows 10 и Windows 11, и в Windows Server 2022/2019/2022 в онлайн и в офлайн режиме через Feature on Demand из графического интерфейса Windows и через консоль PowerShell.

Установка RSAT из графического интерфейса Windows 10 через Features on Demand (FoD)

До версии Windows 10 1809 пакет удаленного администрирования серверов RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) устанавливался в виде MSU обновления, которое нужно было вручную скачивать с серверов Microsoft и устанавливать на компьютерах. При каждом обновлении билда Windows 10 нужно было устанавливать новую версию RSAT. Сейчас на странице загрузки RSAT сайте Microsoft висит следующая надпись:

IMPORTANT: Starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, RSAT is included as a set of “Features on Demand” in Windows 10 itself.

Дело в том, что в современных билдах Windows 10 пакет Remote Server Administration Tools не нужно скачивать вручную. Средства его установки уже встроены в образ Windows 10 и доступны через опцию Функции по требованию / Features on Demand.

Дистрибутив Windows 10 не включает в себя установочные файлы RSAT. Для их установки вашему компьютеру нужен прямой доступ в Интернет. Кроме того установить RSAT можно Professional и Enterprise редакциях в Windows 10, но не в Windows 10 Home.

Чтобы установить RSAT в Windows 10 нужно перейти в раздел Settings -> Apps -> Optionla Features -> Add a feature (Параметры Windows -> Приложения -> Дополнительные возможности -> Добавить компонент).

Выберите нужные компоненты RSAT и нажмите Install.

Для установки некоторых компонентов RSAT может потребоваться перезагрузка.

Для Windows 10 доступны следующие инструменты администрирования RSAT:

Установка RSAT в Windows 10 с помощью PowerShell

Вы можете установить компоненты администрирования RSAT с помощью PowerShell. В этом примере мы покажем, как управлять компонентами RSAT в Windows 10 20H2.

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

Можно представить статус установленных компонентов RSAT в более удобной таблице:

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
).

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 модуль 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:

Чтобы установить сразу все доступные инструменты RSAT, выполните:

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

Чтобы установить только отсутствующие компоненты RSAT, выполните:

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

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

После этого установленные инструменты RSAT отобразятся в панели Manage Optional Features.

Установка RSAT в Windows 11

RSAT в Windows 11 также можно установить через панель Settings -> Apps -> Optional Features -> Add an optional feature (View features).

Наберите
RSAT
в поисковой строке и выберите компоненты для установки.

Также вы можете использовать PowerShell для установки RSAT в Windows 11:

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

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

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

Ошибка 0x800f0954 при установке RSAT в Windows 10

Если ваш компьютер Windows 10 с помощью групповой политики настроен на получение обновлений с локального сервера обновлений WSUS или SCCM SUP, то при установке RSAT через Add-WindowsCapability или DISM вы получите ошибку 0x800f0954.

Для корректной установки компонентов RSAT в Windows 10 вы можете временно отключить обновление со WSUS сервера в реестре (HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU параметр UseWUServer= 0) и перезапустить службу обновления. Воспользуйтесь таким скриптом PowerShell:

$val = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" -Name "UseWUServer" | select -ExpandProperty UseWUServer
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0
Restart-Service wuauserv
Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdateAU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value $val
Restart-Service wuauserv -Force

Либо вы можете настроить новый параметр GPO, который позволяет настраивать параметры установки дополнительных компонентов Windows и Feature On Demand (в том числе RSAT).

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
   ).

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

Установка RSAT в Windows 10 в офлайн режиме

Если при установке RSAT вы столкнетесь с ошибкой Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x800f0954, или в списке дополнительных компонентов вы не видите RSAT (Компоненты для установки отсутствуют), скорее всего ваш компьютер настроен на получение обновлений со внутреннего WSUS/SCCM SUP сервера. Если вы не можете открыть прямой доступ с рабочей станции к серверам Windows 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 из вашего личного кабинета на сайте лицензирования Microsoft — Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Образ называется примерно так: Windows 10 Features on Demand, version 1903.

Например, для Windows 10 1903 x64 нужно скачать образ SW_DVD9_NTRL_Win_10_1903_64Bit_MultiLang_FOD_.ISO (около 5 Гб). Распакуйте образ в сетевую папку. У вас получится набор из множества *.cab файлов, среди которых есть компоненты RSAT.

Теперь для установки компонентов RSAT на десктопе Windows 10 нужно указывать путь к данному сетевому каталогу с FoD. Например:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source \msk-fs01DistrWindows-FODWin101903x64

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

Или можете задать этот параметр через реестр отдельной политикой, указав путь к каталогу в параметр LocalSourcePath (тип REG_Expand_SZ) в ветке реестра HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesServicing.

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

В изолированной среде, если вы не можете получить образ FoD, можно также скачать обновление
WindowsTH-RSAT_WS2016-x64.msu
из каталога Microsoft Update , извлечь содержимое MSU файла обновления и с помощью DISM установит компонент KB2693643-x64.cab (протестировано на Windows 10 2004):
expand -f:* c:WindowsTH-RSAT_WS2016-x64.msu C:RSAT
dism.exe /online /add-package /packagepath:C:RSATWindowsTH-KB2693643-x64.cab

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;
• 0x80070490 –проверьте целостность образа Windows с помощью DISM:
  DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Introduction

Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server from a computer that is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.

You cannot 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. Although some users have found ways of manually cracking or hacking the RSAT MSU to install RSAT on unsupported releases or editions of Windows, this is a violation of the Windows end-user license agreement.

Installing RSAT is similar to installing Adminpak.msi on Windows 2000-based or Windows XP-based client computers. However, there is one major difference: On Windows Vista and Windows 7, the tools are not automatically available after you download and install RSAT. You must enable the tools that you want to use by using Control Panel. To do this, click Start, click Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off. (See the following figure.)

In the RSAT releases for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, and Windows 8, tools are again all enabled by default. You can open Turn Windows features on or off to disable tools that you don’t want to use for Windows Vista and Windows 7.

For RSAT on Windows Vista and Windows 7, you must enable the tools for the roles and features that you want to manage after you run the downloaded installation package. (See the following screen shot.)

Note You cannot do the following changes for RSAT on Windows 8 or later versions.

If you have to install management tools on Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, or 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 Features Wizard in Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Windows Server 2012 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. (See the following screen shot.)

Issue: RSAT FOD uninstallation appears to succeed, but the tool is still installed

Impact: RSAT FODs on Windows 10 1809 (October 2018 Update)

Resolution: Restarting the PC will complete the removal of the tool.

Issue: RSAT missing after Windows 10 upgrade

Impact: Any RSAT .MSU package installation (prior to RSAT FODs) not automatically reinstalled

Resolution: An RSAT installation cannot be persisted across OS upgrades due to the RSAT .MSU being delivered as a Windows Update package. Please install RSAT again after upgrading Windows 10. Note that this limitation is one of the reasons why we’ve moved to FODs starting with Windows 10 1809. RSAT FODs which are installed will persist across future Windows 10 version upgrades.
