Original product version: Windows 10, version 1909, Windows 10, version 1903, Windows 10, version 1809. Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Windows Server 2019. Windows Server 2012 R2

Introduction
RSAT enables IT administrators to remotely manage roles and features in Windows Server from a computer that is running Windows 10 and Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
You can't install RSAT on computers that are running Home or Standard editions of Windows. You can install RSAT only on Professional or Enterprise editions of the Windows client operating system. Unless the download page specifically states that RSAT applies to a beta, preview, or other prerelease version of Windows, you must be running a full (RTM) release of the Windows operating system to install and use RSAT. Some users have found ways of manually cracking or hacking the RSAT MSU to install RSAT on unsupported releases or editions of Windows. This behavior is a violation of the Windows end-user license agreement.
This is a guide to setting up Windows Server 2012 R2 routing/NAT functionality. This feature is a part of 'Remote Access' and allows for connecting 2 networks together, allowing a Windows machine with at least 2 NICs on 2 separate networks to handle the routing between them. To install this feature complete the steps below. The Microsoft Evaluation Center brings you full-featured Microsoft product evaluation software available for download or trial on Microsoft Azure. How to convert Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard Evaluation into Full version1) Open cdm as Administrator2) Digit: DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions3) Press Ent.
Installing RSAT is similar to installing Adminpak.msi in Windows 2000-based or Windows XP-based client computers. However, there's one major difference: in Windows 7, the tools aren't automatically available after you download and install RSAT. Enable the tools that you want to use by using Control Panel. To enable the tools, click Start, click Control Panel, click Programs and Features, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.
In the RSAT releases for Windows 10, tools are again all enabled by default. You can open Turn Windows features on or off to disable tools that you don't want to use for Windows 7.
For RSAT in Windows 7, you must enable the tools for the roles and features that you want to manage after you run the downloaded installation package.
This update also brings enhanced PowerShell auditing functionality, and adds Software Inventory Logging (SIL) to Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, and Windows 7 SP1 machines that already have WMF 4.0 RTM installed. Note: Windows Management Framework 4.0 RTM is a pre-requisite for installing these packages.
Note
You can't do the following changes for RSAT in Windows 8 or later versions.
If you have to install management tools in Windows Server 2012 R2 for specific roles or features that are running on remote servers, you don't have to install additional software. Start the Add Roles and Features Wizard in Windows Server 2012 R2 and later versions. Then, on the Select Features page, expand Remote Server Administration Tools, and then select the tools that you want to install. Complete the wizard to install your management tools.
