Windows 10 1803 was the last time that Windows 10 had a separate RSAT download bundle. This the note from the download page:
IMPORTANT: Starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, RSAT is included as a set of "Features on Demand" in Windows 10 itself. See "Install Instructions" below for details, and "Additional Information" for recommendations and troubleshooting. RSAT lets IT admins manage Windows Server roles and features from a Windows 10 PC.
This is great! It makes re-installation of the RSAT tools just a little bit easier; and a little bit more aligned with automation.
A very nice Microsoft MVP, Martin Bengtsson, saw this new direction for installation and built out an easy to use installation script written in powershell. Here’s a blog post on what it does and how to use it.
The download of the script, execution and setup would have been pretty easy except for one thing … Error 0x800f0954.
It turns out that you need to enable a Group Policy that will allow your machine to download the optional RSAT packages from Windows Update servers instead of your on-premise Windows Server Update Services.
Luckily, Prajwai Desai has already figured this out and has an easy to follow set of instructions to update your Group Policy and allow for the download to occur.
