Introduction With the release of Windows 11, version 24H2, Microsoft continues its shift toward a "Features on Demand" (FODs) model for administrative utilities. Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) enable IT administrators to manage Windows Server roles and features directly from a Windows 11 client machine. This write-up covers the availability, installation methods, key components, and operational considerations for RSAT on Windows 11 24H2. Key Changes in 24H2 As of Windows 11 24H2, RSAT is not distributed as a separate downloadable .msu package . Instead, it is fully integrated into the operating system as optional Features on Demand. This model was introduced in earlier versions of Windows 10 and 11 but remains the standard for 24H2.
