Install RSAT Tools Online or Offline

RSAT Tool Installation

RSAT-Installation

Below are the prerequisites to install RSAT on windows 10.

  • Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 10 can be installed ONLY on computers that are running the full release of Windows 10 Professional, Windows 10 Enterprise, or Windows 10 Education.
  • Remote Server Administration Tools cannot be installed on Windows RT, computers with an Advanced RISC Machine (ARM) architecture, or other system-on-chip devices.

How to install RSAT Tools Online or Offline via PowerShell

The RSAT tools can no longer be downloaded for later versions of Windows 10; instead, you must install them directly via the internet or by using the Windows 10 Feature on Demand DVD that you have downloaded.

The Get-WindowsCapability command-let may be used to discover the tools that are available. With this, you’ll get a list of all “capabilities” with “RSAT” in the name:

PS D:\> Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "*RSAT*"

To install the Rsat ActiveDirectory Tools form the internet use

PS D:\> Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

If you have a feature-length DVD available on demand and the source parameter. In this instance, I copied All RSAT files to a share.

PS D:\> Get-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "*RSAT*" -Limitaccess -Source \\windowstechno.local\Software$\RSAT

To install the Rsat ActiveDirectory Tools use

PS D:\> Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -Limitaccess -Source \\windowstechno.local\Software$\RSAT

After installation, your RSAT tools will appear under Manage Optional Features.

Join a workgroup or domain from command line

A domain can be joined or left in two different ways. You can add and remove computers using the netdom or powershell commands.

The online way

Join a domain. If the machine you wish to connect has you logged in

C:\> netdom join ECXCHDFS01 /domain:Windowstechno.local /UserD:Make-ds-a /PasswordD:****

Join a workgroup and leave the domain. Even if you don’t have the authority to remove the computer object from the domain, the /force option disconnects the machine from the domain. There is still the domain computer object.

c:\> netdom remove %computername% /domain:your.OldADDomain.net /force

The Powershell way

Join a Domain

PS C:\> Add-computer -ECXCHDFS03 WindowsTechno.local -Credential Mike-DS-A

Remove from Domain and join a workgroup.

PS C:\> Remove-computer -ECXCHDFS02 yourWorkgroup

So, that’s all in this blog. I will meet you soon with next stuff .Have a nice day !!!
