Microsoft Windows 11 allows you to boost certain components of the OS faster by installing RSAT. With Windows 7, Microsoft has been bundling this tool, which allows users to manage another system remotely. 

There are different ways to install RSAT; it is quite straightforward, and users can install it through Windows settings. Meanwhile, advanced users can install the Remote Server Administration tools from the command-line interface. 

Install RSAT from Windows Settings. 

  • Open Windows Settings (press Windows + I). 
  • Head over to Apps in the left sidebar. 
  • After that, click on Optional Feature from the right sidebar. 
  • Choose the View feature, and then search for RSAT. 
  • Check the checkbox for the optional features available. 
  • Click on Next, and then wait for it to get installed on your computer. 

Install RSAT using PowerShell. 

  • Open Windows Terminal as an admin (press Windows + X). 
  • After that, enter “Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-Windows Capability -Online.” 
  • Please wait for it to get installed, and that’s it. 

Else: If you want to install the RSAT manually, so to install the components one by one, enter “Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name tool-name” and replace the tool name with the component you want to install.

Note: If you want to know the specific configuration for the components of RSAT, then head over to the Microsoft website to learn more.
