Research direction

Start by tracing Labconfig's VM and OS image deployment paths, then find how optional Windows tools or features are currently applied. Done means an MSLab option can apply the listed RSAT tools to selected VMs or images and supports remote Server Manager and MMC administration.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

add MSLab option to apply RSAT Tools (AD,AD-PS, GPMC, DNS, DHCP, DFS, DFS-R, Failover Clustering, Hyper-V, Volume Activation, Bitlocker Drive Encryption Administration Utilities) into VMs / OS images.

Justification: ability to use Server Manager for remotely managing other VMs in MSLab, with traditional MMCs, when needed.
