If you open powershell with elevated rights then cut and paste this in and run it you should have access to the tools. It takes a few minutes to run..

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0
Restart-Service wuauserv
Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name Rsat.ActiveDirectory.DS-LDS.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 1
Restart-Service wuauserv

Hello John Franklin,

It worked. Thank you.
But I do not understand the difference from the command you have shared.

John Franklin - Thanks man, you're a genius! I got a new laptop at work and when I tried to add the RSAT: Active Directory DS LDS Tools feature it failed and nothing I tried worked. I did nothing for a month and just Googled the error again and your solution was the first thing I found.

This is still broken in Win10 21H2. The exact same steps work in Win11.
