using the script from
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Install-RSAT-for-Windows-75f5f92f
here is what happened
finally! done.
first, you need to download the ISO from MSDN. filename is
en_windows_10_features_on_demand_part_1_version_1903_x64_dvd_1076e85a.iso
then mount the iso (drive F: for me here) and do the following:
- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WindowsCapability -online | ? Name -like Rsat* | Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Source f:
- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WindowsCapability -online | ? Name -like Rsat* | FT
the above commands need to be ran from an elevated PowerShell console. the first command installs the RSAT tool (all of them) and the second command checks if everything is showing as installed.

precisely!
wasn't that hard before.
It's not hard now, just different.
They would prefer you to use PowerShell, Server manager or Windows Administration Centre, but something being different doesn't make it bad, this isn't the first change and wont be the last..
WAC is actually very good, if you're not using it, try it.
when
- changes are made without making sure everyone receives it
- assumptions are made that everyone is always online
that is hard.
imagine, if the next iteration of Windows is just a 25KB install file and the rest assumes you are online and have a fast Internet connect. wouldn't that be lovely?

25k - now you are being facetious.
FOD has been talked about a lot, if you are not an insider and don't subscribed to TechNet articles - how do you want them to inform you?
1. Subscribe to newsletters or join the insiders program
2. You don't need to be online, but you wont get it if it is not imported in to WSUS packages. Hence you needed the media.
The idea is that WSUS can control who gets these instead of it being included in a base OS build or admins can choose to install it manually, but need the FOD content

i guess people have forgotten about README1st file. that's how one inform those who are not privy to insider newsletters.
anyway, i didn't post here to argue/debate/whatever. just to gripe and inform (i created a how-to btw) those poort admins like me. peace out.

i appreciate the fact that you and others posted this the various ways to install rsat.
thanks.
Took me ages looking for this as the features were "available" but wouldn't install onto the PC. No error, just nothing happened.
Finally found this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer
Change to 0, reboot, then “Manage optional features” > add feature > RSAT: Active directory…install (& any others)
Change UseWUServer back to 1
Just a thought. You may want to actually provide a link to download as MSDN does not make it easy to download anything. I've done google searches and no site that actually lists the file can be accessed on our business network.
> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU\UseWUServer
>Change to 0
@tdg2 Thanks your your pointer to the registry entry - that was my solution I would give you 10 likes for it if possible! For me it wasn't even necessary to reboot after changing the setting. I could then follow the instructions from petri.com How to Install RSAT tools in Windows 10. Prior to the registry change the installation failed.
Hello All,
I know this is an older post but, our org. recently updated our (Win10) OS to version 1903 and, lo and behold, RSAT was removed during the upgrade :/
Colleague provided the following, which installed the tools with no issue via Powershell:
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0
Restart-Service wuauserv
Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name “Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0”
Add-WindowsCapability –online –Name “Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0”
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0"
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "Rsat.DHCP.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0"
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value $currentWU
Restart-Service wuauserv

Yep, and as mentioned in my above post, use the GPO method and you won't have to worry :) (It also gives a shorter PowerShell script that adds all the RSAT tools, not just the specific ones you mentioned)
