install Active Directory module powershell for windows 10

Solution 1

These instructions are for Windows 7; the process will likely be similar for Windows 10.

  1. First, find and install the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT) update package for your version of Windows. I found this easily.

  2. Then, you'll need to enable the feature once it is installed.

    1. Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off (or, open it directly, from the command line: %windir%\System32\OptionalFeatures.exe
    2. Find Remote Server Adminstration Tools -> Role Adiminstration Tools -> AD DS and AD LDS Tools -> Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, and turn it on

      Windows Features

    3. You may need to restart your computer. I don't recall.

  3. Finally, import the module, and use it normally.

Solution 2

At the top of your PowerShell script you just need to include the following.

Import-Module activedirectory

Assuming you have the RSAT tools already installed on the Win10 machines via Control Panel.
