Installing RSAT using Powershell

12 Apr 2024


Not strictly a security topic but I use the the Remote Server Administrator Tools (RSAT) a lot and its one of the first things I install on a new machine. This is a quick guide on installing the Remote Server Administrator Tools (RSAT) using PowerShell.

List the Installed Tools

From a Powershell command prompt run the following command to see if any of the RSAT tools are already installed:

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

Install all Tools

From a Administrator Powershell command prompt run the following command to install all of the tools :

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

If you only want to install a particular tool then change the wild card to be the name of the tool required.
