Windows – How to install RSAT on remote Windows 7 workstations using Powershell in 2003 AD

active-directorypowershellwindowswindows 7

How do I install and enable RSAT tools on remote Windows 7 Workstations using Powershell?
Actually this process I think has 2 parts:

  1. Installing the tools
  2. Enabling the features;

How can this be done remotely on windows 7 workstations via powershell? The environment consists only of Windows 2003 R2 domain controllers.

It is a multi-step process. You have to install the hotfix using WUSA.exe then you can use DISM to enable the individual features.
