Remote Server Administration Tools

When I created a network of Virtual Machines to test myself, I found that I had to log into the server to manage accounts. This was until I learned about the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT), which let me manage accounts and devices from my physical or virtual workstation.

1. Launch the Settings window using the Windows + I keyboard shortcut.
2. Next, go to System in the left column.
3. In the right column, scroll to Optional features.
4. Under System > Optional features, go to Add an Optional feature.
5. In the search box, type RSAT to filter the results below.

Note: The RSAT features will not appear if they were previously installed, so you will need to hit the cancel button and check under Added features to see the listing.

RSAT: Active Directory Certificate Services Tools
RSAT: Active Directory Domain Services and Lightweight Directory Services Tools
RSAT: BitLocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities
RSAT: DHCP Server Tools
RSAT: DNS Server Tools
