Windows 11 22H2 Install Remote Server Administration Tool (RSAT) Feature

Hi All,

A while ago i did blog about how to add the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Windows 10 with the GUI

This time, i will show you how to install it on Windows 11 22H2 with PowerShell.

Note that the PowerShell needs to be run elevated (As Administrator)

Let’s query the installation status

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

To see the Names we need to use this command

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | fl DisplayName, State, Name 

Now that we get the actual Name, we can install it

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

Let’s check again the installation Status

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

I can now run tools like ldp.exe (LDAP Tool)

If we can reach the Domain Controllers we can use the “ActiveDirectory” PowerShell Module.

$cred = Get-Credential # Use Format: Domain\Username
Get-AdUser -Identity <Identity> -Server <FQDNofDomainController> -Credential $cred

Works even on a AzureADJoined Device. As long you can reach the Domain Controllers through VPN or are in the Corporate Network.

dsregcmd /status
