OpenRSAT: The alternative to Microsoft RSAT

OpenRSAT is the alternative to Microsoft’s RSAT.

OpenRSAT (Open Remote System Administration tools) is a free and open-source tool that allows system administrators to manage an Active Directory (AD) environment from any operating system: Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Designed as a lightweight alternative to Microsoft’s RSAT suite, OpenRSAT offers a modern, cross-platform graphical interface that facilitates the administration of Active Directory services.
