    We updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

    I used a package downloaded from Microsoft to install the RSAT that was intended for use on Windows 10.
    That caused some obscure app to crash repeatedly. I removed RSAT.

    RSAT wasn't listed under my Optional Packages.

    The Powershell
    Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name "Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0"
    worked for me, but like all of these Add-WindowsCapability commands, it took way too long, around twenty minutes.
    I use it at least a few times each week and I have noticed no ill effects.
