    1. On the desktop, click Start, click All Apps, click Windows System, and then click Control Panel.
    2. Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
    3. Click View installed updates.
    4. Right-click Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2693643), and then click Uninstall.
    5. When you are asked if you are sure you want to uninstall the update, click Yes.

    But I get Error "An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled"

    I am a domain Admin.

    My computer was upgraded from Win 8.1 (with RSAT installed)

    I am having issues with Server Manager not working correctly (why I am trying to uninstall)

    I tried steps 1-5, unsuccessful.

    I am at my reserve training, and will try again when I return on June 27th.

    If unsuccessful, I may just re-install Windows 10 from scratch....what I always suggest...it seems upgrades never work "completely"

    I am also having the same problem and still on the search for an accurate solution; using the latest RSAT for Windows 10 (WindowsTH-RSAT_TP5-x64.msu).

    I've spent several hours/days all over the net to find solutions from deleting orphaned user objects out of the registry (I have none), DISM, WUSA, reinstalling, removing from Programs and Features, subinacl.msi, stopping/restarting Windows Updates and dependencies (BITS, etc.), Safe Mode, cmd in Recovery, and so on.

    None of the prescribed solutions have worked. I am suspecting it may have to do with the 4.5.2/4.6 .NET framework; I could be completely wrong though. I've run into severe issues when 4.5.2 first came out; it crippled a TS server and a number of other things.

    It would be useful to know what the actual fix is as I believe it is effecting PowerShell for me. I am nearing a reinstall myself.

    I have deleted items from registry...and I no longer get errors when I open server manager...but some items in server manager do not work correctly or populate info correctly.

    I really dont not want to re-image, as I have a lot of software to re-install.  

    It seems I may not have a choice.

    Hi gsc73,

    Have you tried the command line? Have you checked the cbs.log?

    Try to reinstall the language package and try to install rsat again.

    I have tried the folllowing command line:

    dism /online /get-features

    *I received the text "the operation completed successfully"


    dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:

    After the above I received "Error: 87"

    "The /featurename: option is missing a required argument.

    Hi gsc73,

    I would make an apology for the wrong command line. The previous command line is used to disable the rsat not uninstall them.

    To remove the packages completely, please try the following steps.
    dism /online /Get-Packages
    In the command results, look for the package name that contains the text RemoteServerAdministrationTools.
    dism /online /Remove-Package /PackageName:<Name>
    Here is a link for reference:

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449483(v=ws.10).aspx


    According to the log, it seems that there is something wrong with the registry key.

    Hi gsc73,

    Have you tried to delete the registry key I pointed out before manually? Have you tried to refer to the link and use Process monitor to troubleshoot the "Access is denied" issue?

    Oh my gosh! I'm having the same issue as you! Glad it's not only me.

    You've done heaps more in diagnosing it. Did you find a solution?

    I'm also thinking of just starting again...

    I have not re-loaded yet.

    I did just install the new Windows 1607 build (came out on Aug 2nd)

    I actually had to re-load RSAT after the update.

    I first wanted to re-load RSAT due to issues with Server Manger and my RDWEB setup.  I thought it was my PC, but its a problem with Winidows 10.  (Build 1607 has fixed my issue, with RSAT and my RDWEB setup)

    See issue below about RDWEB issue that 1607 build also fixed.

    .. me also, step by step:

    in admin command prompt..
    dism /online /get-packages

    (look for Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Client-Package-TopLevel~...... )

    then

    dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Client-Package-TopLevel~....

    look in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log for STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE and \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft on the same line.

    Note the reg.. (in my case.. \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fusion\PublisherPolicy\Default\v4.0_Policy.3.1.Microsoft.UpdateServices.Administration__31bf3856ad364e35)

    Delete it from registry.. (usual regedit caveats!)

    Re-run remove-package.

    This is what worked for me. I couldn't view the "manage user" tab options in AD and RSAT was alltogether fubard.

     

    I tried to:

    Delete the registry keys and then remove the windows feature and rsat

    Remove via wusa

    Remove via DISM

    Remove via Programs and Features > Add/Remove Windows Features

    The only way I could remove KB2693643 and the RSAT windows features are as follows:

    Just like Xtcne's response!

    1. Open command prompt as administrator

    2. run DISM /Online /Get-Packages

            2a. Copy and paste the output into a txt document such as notepad

    3. Run DISM /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:<INSERTDATAHERE>

     

    In step 3 above, the <INSERTDATAHERE> should be the package name you copied from the Get-Packages list. You will need to run this each time, for each package that starts with "Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools...."

     

    So my step 3 looked like this:

    DISM /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Client-Package-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.10585.0

    (selected "no" to restart)


    DISM /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-RemoteServerAdministrationTools-Client-Package-TopLevel~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~*AnotherVersion*

    (selected "yes" to restart after this 2nd command)
