Install RSAT on Windows 10 through PowerShell and SCCM

In this post I will show you how to install RSAT features on Windows 10 (since 1809) using PowerShell and an XML containing features to enable. I will also explain how to enable it through SCCM. 

Since the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (since Windows 10 1809), RSAT is included as a set of “Features on Demand” in Windows 10, meaning you can't install it like before using an EXE file.
See the note on the RSAT download page.

You can find also here a nice script from Martin Bengtsson.

- Installed: for feature that are installed
