In the RSAT releases for Windows 10, tools are again all enabled by default. To enable the tools, click Start, click Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off. Enable the tools that you want to use by using Control Panel. However, there's one major difference: in Windows 7, the tools aren't automatically available after you download and install RSAT. Installing RSAT is similar to installing Adminpak.msi in Windows 2000-based or Windows XP-based client computers. This behavior is a violation of the Windows end-user license agreement.

Some users have found ways of manually cracking or hacking the RSAT MSU to install RSAT on unsupported releases or editions of Windows.

Unless the download page specifically states that RSAT applies to a beta, preview, or other prerelease version of Windows, you must be running a full (RTM) release of the Windows operating system to install and use RSAT. You can install RSAT only on Professional or Enterprise editions of the Windows client operating system.

You can't install RSAT on computers that are running Home or Standard editions of Windows. RSAT enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server from a computer that is running Windows 10 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1.Īpplies to: Windows 10 - all editions, Windows 7 Service Pack 1, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012 R2 Original KB number: 2693643 Introduction
