Microsoft has released a new version of Windows 10, dubbed version 21H1. This version brings new functionality that many organizations are eager to utilize. In many organizations, Windows-based devices are joined to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), so devices can be managed centrally and end-users can sign-in on any domain-joined device of their liking.
A new Windows version means that Active Directory needs to be properly prepared. In this blogpost, I’ll show you how to prepare Active Directory for Windows 10, version 21H1:
Group Policy
Windows 10, version 21H1 comes with ten new Group Policy settings. To centrally manage Group Policy, you can update the Group Policy Central Store with the new Group Policy template (*.admx) and Group Policy language (*.adml) files. This way, you can centrally manage the versioning of Group Policy templates.
Note:
If your organization doesn’t use the Group Policy Central Store feature, yet, now is a good time to implement it.
You can download the Download Administrative Templates (.admx) for Windows 10 May 2021 Update (21H1) from the Microsoft Download Center. This download includes *.adml files for the Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Turkish and Chinese languages.
Copy the new PolicyDefinitions folder over the existing PolicyDefinitions folder in the Active Directory System Volume (SYSVOL) share to update the Group Policy Central Store.
When you’re a fan of Microsoft’s security baselines, you can download and implement the Security baseline (final) for Windows 10, version 21H1.
Windows Activation
Active Directory-based Activation (ADbA) is available since Windows Server 2012 as a replacement for Microsoft’s Key Management Services (KMS).
Note:
If your organization doesn’t use Active Directory-based Activation, yet, now is a good time to implement it.
You can download the product keys for your organization from the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Enter the product keys to automatically activate Windows 10 when it comes into scope of your Windows activation method.

Click the search result with the same name - Click Add a feature.
You now see the list of available optional features. - Select and install the specific RSAT tools you need. All RSAT tools names are prefixed with RSAT: , so this makes for easy filtering.

Выберите нужные компоненты RSAT и нажмите Install.
Вы можете установить RSAT только Professional и Enterprise редакциях Windows 10/11, но не в Windows Home.
После установки некоторых компонентов RSAT может потребоваться перезагрузка.
Компоненты RSAT не включены в состав Windows, а поставляются в виде Функции по требованию (Features on Demand). Это значит, что для установки RSAT ваш компьютер должен быть подключен к интернету. Windows загрузит и установит необходимые файлы с серверов Microsoft Update.
В предыдущих версиях Windows (до билда Windows 10 1809) пакет удаленного администрирования серверов RSAT устанавливался в виде отдельного файла MSU обновления, которое нужно было вручную скачивать и установить с сайта Microsoft (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520)
После установки пакета KB2693643 вы можете включить необходимые компоненты RSAT в разделе Control Panel -> Programs and Feature -> Turn Windows features on or off (
optionalfeatures.exe
). Разверните Remote Server Administration Tools и выберите необходимые компоненты для установки.
Если попытаться установить KB2693643 на более новых билдах Windows 10 или 11, появится ошибка:
Windows Update Standalone Installer encountered and error: 0x8024001d
После установки, графические mmc оснастки RSAT будут доступны в панели управления в секции Administrative Tools (Control Panel\System and Security\Administrative Tools) или в папке:
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools
.
Установка RSAT в Windows с помощью PowerShell
Вы можете установить компоненты администрирования RSAT в Windows 10 и 11 с помощью PowerShell.
С помощью следующей PowerShell команды можно вывести список компонентов RSAT, установленных на вашем компьютере:

Теперь убедитесь, что инструменты RSAT установлены (статус Installed);
Как установить Remote Server Administration Tools в Windows Server 2022,2019,2016?
В Windows Server для установки RSAT не нужен доступ в интернет. Компоненты RSAT можно устанавливать при установке соответствующих ролей или фич Windows Server, либо можно установить их через Server Manager (Add roles and Features -> Features -> Remote Server Administration Tools). Все компоненты RSAT разбиты на две секции: Feature Administration Tools и Role Administration Tools. Выберите необходимые компоненты и нажмите Next -> Next.
Для установки RSAT в Windows Server используется командлет установки компонентов и ролей — Install-WindowsFeature. Вывести список доступных компонентов RSAT в Windows Server 2022, 2019 и 2016:
Get-WindowsFeature| Where-Object {$_.name -like "*RSAT*"}| ft Name,Installstate
Для установки выбранного компонента RSAT, укажите его имя. Например, установим консоль диагностики лицензирования RDS:
Install-WindowsFeature RSAT-RDS-Licensing-Diagnosis-UI
Установить консоль удаленного управления Hyper-V Manager и PowerShell модуль Hyper-V:
Get-WindowsFeature | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "RSAT-Hyper-V-Tools"}| Install-WindowsFeature -IncludeAllSubFeature
Установленные графические консоли RSAT доступны из Server Manager или через панель управления.
Ошибка 0x800f0954 при установке RSAT в Windows
Если ваш компьютер Windows настроен на получение обновлений с локального сервера обновлений WSUS или SCCM (Configuration Manager) SUP, то при установке RSAT из графического интерфейса, Add-WindowsCapability или DISM вы получите ошибку.
В этом случае Windows будет пытаться загрузить пакет RSAT с вашего локального сервера обновлений и вернет ошибку 0x800f0954:
Чтобы игнорировать локальный WSUS при установке дополнительных компонентов Windows и Features On Demand (в том числе RSAT) нужно настроить специальный параметр групповых политики:
- Откройте редактор локальной GPO –
gpedit.msc
или используйте доменную консоль управления GPO –
gpmc.msc
); - Перейдите в раздел Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System;
- Включите политику Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair, и включите опцию Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS) (опция “Скачайте содержимое для восстановления и дополнительные компненты непосредственно из Центра обновления Windows вместо использования службы WSUS”);
- Сохраните изменения и обновите настройки групповых политик (
gpupdate /force
). - Перезапустите службу Windows Update:
net stop wuauserv
net start wuauserv
Теперь установка RSAT через PowerShell или DISM должна выполняться без ошибок.
Некоторые параметры реестра могут блокировать подключение к Microsoft Update при получении компонентов RSAT. Если при установке RSAT появляется ошибка 0x8024002e, измените значения следующий параметров реестра в ветке
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
:
- DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations = 0
- DisableWindowsUpdateAccess = 0
Затем перезапустите службу wuauserv.
Установка RSAT в Windows в офлайн режиме
Если вы не можете открыть прямой доступ с рабочей станции к серверам Microsoft Update, вы можете воспользоваться офлайн установкой RSAT (рекомендуется для корпоративных сетей без прямого доступа в Интернет).
Для офлайн установки RSAT нужно скачать ISO образ диска с компонентами FoD для вашей версии Windows 10/11 с сайта Microsoft или из личного кабинета на сайте лицензирования Microsoft (Volume Licensing Service Center, VLSC):
- Для Windows 10 2004 — https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/language-packs (FOD Disk 1 ISO)
- Для Windows 11 21H2/22H2- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-desktop/windows-11-language-packs (Language and Optional Features ISO)
Например, для Windows 10 2004 x64 нужно скачать образ 19041.1.191206-1406.vb_release_amd64fre_FOD-PACKAGES_OEM_PT1_amd64fre_MULTI.iso (около 5 Гб). Распакуйте образ в сетевую папку. У вас получится набор *.cab файлов, среди которых есть компоненты RSAT.
Теперь для установки компонентов RSAT на рабочей станции Windows нужно указывать путь к данному сетевому каталогу с FoD в параметре -Source:
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source \\msk-fs01\Distr\Windows-FOD\Win101903x64\
Также вы можете указать путь к каталогу с компонентами FoD с помощью указанной выше групповой политики. Для этого в параметре Alternative source file path нужно указать UNC путь к каталогу с файлами FoD.
Или можете задать этот параметр через реестр отдельной политикой, указав путь к каталогу в параметр LocalSourcePath (тип REG_Expand_SZ) в ветке реестра HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Servicing.
После этого, пользователи смогут самостоятельно устанавливать компоненты RSAT через графический интерфейс добавления компонент Windows 10.
Частые ошибки установки Remote Server Administration Tools в Windows
- 0x8024402c, 0x80072f8f – Windows не может поучить доступ к серверам обновления Windows для получения компонентов RSAT. Проверьте доступ в интернет или установите компоненты из локального образа FoD:
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.Dns.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0 -LimitAccess -Source E:\RSAT\
- 0x800f081f – проверьте путь к каталогу с компонентами RSAT, указанному в параметре –Source;
- 0x800f0950 – ошибка аналогична 0x800f0954;
- 0x80070490 –проверьте целостность образа Windows с помощью DISM:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
