Updated: 19/11/2018 Includes fix for error 0x80244022
Microsoft recently released a new Insider build that included a really cool feature that I am sure all IT Pros have been waiting for. RSAT on Demand! What this means is no more downloading the latest RSAT from the Microsoft website with every Windows 10 feature update. In this article, I am going to walk through the steps to enable this. You will need to have insider build 17682 or later. I believe it will be live on Windows 10 1809.
Configure using the GUI
Open up Windows settings and then go to Optional Features
Click on Add a feature You should now see a list of optional features you can add. In this list, you will find a list of RSAT options. You may need to scroll down.
Just click the one you would like to install and click Install
You can also install them using PowerShell! I will show you how below.
The PowerShell Way
To get a list of what RSAT tools you can install, use the following command.
| Get-WindowsCapability -Online | ? Name -like 'RSAT*' |
To install just one you can use the following command.
| Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 |
If you want to install all of the RSAT options you can use the following PowerShell command.
| Get-WindowsCapability -Online | ? Name -like 'RSAT*' | Add-WindowsCapability -Online |
You may get an error 0x80244022
If you do you can use the following code to install the RSAT tools.
