RSAT Extension Requirements

The following prerequisite is required to run the RSAT Extension:

  • Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) must be installed

RSAT Extension

The RSAT Extension is an MMC snap-in that can be installed on domain joined machines. It extends the Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) console with Recovery for Active Directory specific right-click options for object rollback and recovery. Included in this extension is a Recycle Bin for restoring deleted objects. Consider the following:

  • The RSAT Extension is automatically installed with the Recovery for Active Directory installation package on the Recovery Application Server. The local Extension must be registered on the server to enable the rollback and restore options in ADUC.
  • The Extension can be manually installed on a remote server where ADUC is installed. The Extension connects to the Recovery Application Server using the server name or IP address you provide while installing the Extension on the remote machine. See the Install the RSAT Extension topic for additional information.

You must register the RSAT Extension on the Recovery Application Server to add the Rollback and Restore options to the ADUC console.
