MC1248343: RSAT capabilities arrive on Arm-based Windows 11 PCs

You can now use familiar Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) on Arm-based Windows 11 devices. With the February 2026 non-security preview update, five of the most widely used RSAT components are available for everyday system administrator tasks. Add users to Active Directory, edit GPOs, configure NDS and DHCP servers, and more.   When will this happen: Starting with the February 2026 non-security preview update  How this will affect your organization: For the past several years, if you’ve used Windows on Arm, you had to rely on alternative management methods (such as Windows Admin Center) or switch to an x64 device for certain tasks. Similarly, testing newer Arm-powered laptops for your enterprise highlighted the pressing need for RSAT support on Arm64 devices. With RSAT support, Windows 11 on Arm becomes a more viable platform for enterprise IT management.  What you need to do to prepare: This improvement comes to Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 on Arm, as well as Windows 11, version 26H1. Please install the February 2026 non-security preview update or later.   Additional information: Learn why RSAT on Arm64 matters and how to enable it in RSAT capabilities arrive on Arm-based Windows 11 PCs.
