The Powershell Command "Get-DistributionGroup" doesn't work

Echoing mjolinor's comment, but feel free to append with extra info.
Installing the AD tools won't help. Get-DistributionGroup
is an Exchange cmdlet.
You'll need to either:
- install the Exchange Management Tools
- or connect to a management session on an Exchange server

The
Get-DistributionGroup
command is supposed to list distribution groups in a domain but I can't get it to run on my server.After some Googling I found that
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
needs to be run first, but what I get when I run that is:Import-Module : The specified module 'ActiveDirectory' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.
My questions are
- How do I install this module into my PowerShell module directory? I thought it was supposed to do this automatically
- Once I have it installed, do I just run
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
and then I can runGet-DistributionGroup
to list my dist groups?
