In current versions of Windows, RSAT is an "Optional Feature" that can be enabled directly through the Settings menu without downloading a separate installer. For Windows 11:

# Add the feature Add-WindowsCapability -Name "Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0" -Online

If you are on an older version of Windows 10 (pre-1809), the "Optional Features" method will not work.

Once the installation is complete, you can launch the console using one of these methods: : Press Win + R , type dsa.msc , and hit Enter.

Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-AD-Tools

If you prefer using the command line for a faster installation, you can use PowerShell with administrative privileges.
