Is there a download file available for RSAT in windows 11?

Question

I know you can add RSAT using optional features however we are looking for a download file as it was available for windows 10. Is there an option to download RSAT for win11 somewhere?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, there is no standalone installer for RSAT (Remote Server Administration Tools) available for Windows 11. Microsoft only provides the RSAT download version for Windows 10. In Windows 11, RSAT tools are integrated into the "optional features" section inside the Settings app.

Here are the steps to install RSAT tools on Windows 11:

Press the Windows key + i to open the Settings app.

Click System.

Scroll down and click "Optional features".

Click "View features".

The "Add an optional feature" window will now open. Search for "RSAT".

Select the RSAT tools that you want to install and click Next.

Confirm the components and click Install.

The RSAT tools will now begin downloading and installing on your PC. Once they are fully installed and ready to be used, they will be visible under the "Installed Features" section.

The path given using MS SETTINGS APP and then going to APPS is INCORRECT. From what I see, go to the MS SETTINGS APP and then to SYSTEM. Scroll down to OPTIONAL FEATURES, choose ADD OPTIONAL FEATURE and then VIEW FEATURES. From there, search for RSAT and there are a slew of optional apps including ADUC. For those looking for a download file-- mentioned in the original post-- others have posted that here for you, so I won't duplicate efforts. This only works on PRO and ENTERPRISE for the OPTIONAL FEATURES item, I believe.

Not True:

Feature on Demand ISO for Win11 is available from your VLSC Downloads and can be extracted from the ISO to create an installation package.

Hi Jen,

Cristian is very wrong. It is possible to separate packages (las eekrueger wrote), but the fastest way is to use the method described on another MS website:

In addition, this solution can be used also if you have problems 0x80240438, 0x8024402c, 0x800f0950 with the online installation of RSAT.

Hi,

I have a question regarding the RSAT for a computer that is in a network air-gaped. The network is a lab network and is with no internet connection, and can not be connected to internet.
