Jorge here again. In this post, I want to show how to install the Active Directory Module for PowerShell. The AD module is already installed on domain controllers on Windows Server but on member servers, you can add the module as a feature in Server Manager or using PowerShell.

Run the following PowerShell command as administrator:

Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell

Add-WindowsFeature
Then you can verify it with the Get-WindowsFeature cmdlet.

Get-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-AD-PowerShell

Get-WindowsFeature
