We have reported on RSAT tools (Remote Server Administration Tools) several times in the past. Today we would like to show you how you can install these Windows RSAT tools using PowerShell .
To do this, first open a PowerShell console with administrator rights. With the following PowerShell command you can first query which RSAT components are available and which of them may already be installed .
Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT * -Online | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, State
This then looks like this in the PowerShell console.
As you can see, all existing RSAT tools are listed here and you can see the ” Status ” behind them . This status indicates whether the individual RSAT components are already installed or not.
