Secondly I pointed opportunity to manage server only from your workstation/client executing all server plugin avoiding to connect to each server via RDP (security aspect) and having a single point of management with all rsat tools.
With new Windows 10 version (1809) something changed slightly.
Here it is powershell installation procedure:
In any case there are other alternative procedure to get same result:
- Execute Windows Powershell with administrative rights and launch this command to verify that no RSAT tool is really installed
Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online
- Using below command information would be formatted in a more readable way:
Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, State - To add a single tool you should use below syntax:
Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name “Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 - To add all available Rsat tools this is syntax correct:
Get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online - To install only disabled RSAT components, run:
Get-WindowsCapability -Online |? {$_.Name -like "*Rsat*" -and $_.State -eq "NotPresent"} | Add-WindowsCapability -Online - If you got below error it should be due to Wsus internal server pointing:
Add-WindowsCapability : Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x800f0954 - In this case you should execute
regedit.exe -->
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU
Changing UseWUServer key to 0 and restarting Windows update service.
Restart-Service wuauserv
And then launching this command:
Get-WindowsCapability -Name Rsat* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online
Afterward rollback previously UseWUServer key value and restarting Windows update service
Restart-Service wuauserv - You could execute below powershell command:
- $currentWU = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" | select -ExpandProperty UseWUServer
- Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0
- Restart-Service wuauserv
- Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online
- Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value $currentWU
- Restart-Service wuauserv
