Trying to install RSAT on Win10 V2004 while SCCM is set as WSUS server and receiving error 0x800f0954

If I run the command in powershell: "Get-WindowsCapability -name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online"

I receive the error 0x800f0954.

The resolution I have found is to set the GPO: computer configuration > administrative templates > system > specify settings for optional component installation and component repair to Enable and check the box "Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instate of WSUS"

Once I do this it downloads directly from windows update and works fine.

Is that the only solution? Is there no way to put RSAT on the WSUS server and allow the computer to pull RSAT from WSUS?

That's fine if that is the only solution, I just want to make sure there is no way to make it download from WSUS.

    This powershell script will change your PC to stop using WSUS, download and install RSAT and then revert your PC back to using WSUS afterward.

    $UseWUServer = Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UseWUServer

    Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0

    Restart-Service "Windows Update"

    Get-WindowsCapability -Name "RSAT*" -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online

    Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value $UseWUServer

    Restart-Service "Windows Update"

    Hi Chris-4250,

    Thanks for your posting on Q&A.

    Starting with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, RSAT is included as a set of "Features on Demand" right from Windows 10. Do not download an RSAT package from this page. Instead, just go to "Manage optional features" in Settings and click "Add a feature" to see the list of available RSAT tools. Select and install the specific RSAT tools you need. To see installation progress, click the Back button to view status on the "Manage optional features" page.

    In my opinion, it is difficult for WSUS to deploy the RSAT. For more details, please refer to this link.
