To install RSAT on your client device, you can download the RSAT installation package from the Microsoft website. For Windows 10 client systems that are not on the October 2018 update, you can download RSAT at www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520. If you’re using Windows 10 and have the October 2018 update, you don’t need to download the RSAT installer. It’s included as a Feature on Demand, which you can install from the operating system directly.

RPC over HTTP Proxy
This feature is typically used to support VPN clients that need to communicate over HTTP. It relays RPC traffic over HTTP, as the name suggests.
Setup and Boot Event Collection
This feature was first introduced in Windows Server 2016. With this feature enabled, you can set up your server as a collector, which can be used to gather lots of different types of events from other systems as they boot up or as they go through the setup process. You can view the events once they're collected with Event Viewer as you’re used to.
Simple TCP/IP Services
This feature is provided for backwards compatibility and should not be installed unless it’s required. It’s a collection of utilities used on the command line. The utilities respond to telnet requests on specific ports. Quote of the Day, for example, will give you a random quote when you telnet to port 17.
SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
If you enable this feature, you’re enabling support for Common Internet File System (CIFS) clients and/or CIFS servers to connect over SMB v1.0, which is an insecure protocol at this point. Only use this feature if absolutely necessary. At this point, it’s a huge security vulnerability and should never be enabled. If you have devices or applications that require SMB v1.0, you need to work with your organization to get those devices and/or applications replaced.
SMB Bandwidth Limit
The SMB Bandwidth Limit feature allows you to categorize your SMB traffic and limit the amount of traffic you want to allow by category. This is especially helpful when you’re doing live migrations on Hyper-V hosts and you want to limit the amount of bandwidth that the live migrations are able to use so that you don’t negatively impact your other VMs or your end users.
SMTP Server
The SMTP Server in Windows Server 2022 is a basic email server. It can be used as an organization’s main email server so long as the organization is small. Just keep in mind that it’s nowhere near as robust as Exchange Server.
Simple Network Management Protocol Service
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used by many organizations to monitor devices for events and status. Enabling the SNMP Service gives you the ability to accept events from other servers and devices.
To configure SNMP after installation, launch the Service Control Manager MMC console (services.msc) and locate the SNMP Service. In the Properties for the service, you can set the community string and which hosts you want to receive SNMP packets from.
Software Load Balancer
This feature provides outbound network address translation (NAT), provides inbound NAT, can load-balance between multiple instances of applications, and can check to make sure that an instance of the application is healthy before sending traffic to it. This is excellent for SDN because you can configure it though PowerShell. It operates at Layer 4 of the OSI model, the Transport Layer.
Storage Migration Service
Storage Migration Service is new to Windows Server 2022. It allows you to painlessly inventory your data and settings on a server and then transfer that data and the configuration settings to a newer server. The new server can then take over the identity of the old server. Applications and users don’t need to change anything on their end.
This is a great new feature! Think of that old Windows Server 2008 system that’s still hanging around because everyone is afraid to touch it. Storage Migration Service is your answer to that old server. You can migrate data from systems as old as Windows Server 2003, but the destination server has to be Windows Server 2012 R2 or newer.
Storage Migration Service Proxy
When this feature is installed on the destination server, the transfer performance of the Storage Migration Service is almost doubled. This is only available on Windows Server 2022.
Storage Replica
Storage Replica adds the capability to replicate synchronously or asynchronously across servers or clusters. This is great for disaster recovery!
When Storage Replica was first introduced, it was only supported in the Datacenter edition. With Windows Server 2022, Storage Replica was made available in the Standard edition as well, though it does have some limitations when it’s installed on Standard: It can only replicate a single volume, volumes can have only one partner, and volumes can only be a max size of 2TB.
System Data Archiver
This feature is installed by default on Windows Server 2022 and is also new to Windows Server 2022. Its job is pretty simple: It’s responsible for collecting and archiving system data from the server.
System Insights
One of the challenges of being a system administrator is forecasting what your compute and storage needs are. New to Windows Server 2022 is System Insights. This cool new feature includes analytics and machine learning to predict based on usage what your needs may be. It’s a very useful tool when doing capacity forecasting, and can cover compute, storage, and networking needs. No more guesswork!
Telnet Client
The Telnet Client allows you to connect to a Telnet Server using the Telnet protocol.
