ammarjaved Thanks for the Powershell Commands! FYI Via the GUI on W11 23H2, i"Optional Features are not under Add Remove Apps, anymore. It's under Settings| System > Optional Features
Thank you for this. After searching I found 10 wrong methods before I found this. I was looking in the old places.
- Any negative impact after install RSAT on Windows 11?
Jasonmodd "Any negative impact after install RSAT on Windows 11?"
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.
- Is RSAT available on Windows 11 Home?
Not available in Win-Home. Only Win-Pro, & Enterprise versions.
I'm facing this issue in Windows 11. and I almost tried whatever you think of. Does anybody know any solution? It keeps saying staged.
- Doesnt work on windows 11:
C:\Windows\System32>Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Select-Object -Property DisplayName, State
'Get-WindowsCapability' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\Windows\System32>Hi dudexy , With "cmd" it's not working, it's working with an admin "powershell" :
