Installing Windows RSAT tools

Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows (and Samba) Servers from a computer that is running Windows. For a Windows 10 PC, open a CMD window with administrator privileges and type:

  • This command lists all available RSAT optional features you can install.
DISM.exe /Online /Get-Capabilities | find "Rsat"
  • GPO - Group Policy Management
DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  • DNS - DNS Management
DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
  • ADUC - Active Directoy Users and Computers
DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

Note that RSAT's ADUC for Windows no longer shows the “Unix Attributes” (RFC2307) tab, and you should enable “Advanced” in the View menu to show the “Attribute Editor”, where you can find attributes such as uidNumber, gidNumber, unixHomeDirectory, loginShell. These need to be filled in (especially uidNumber for users and gidNumber for groups) if you are using the 'ad' idmap backend.
