The installation of the AD module varies significantly for the different Windows and PowerShell versions. At
the time of this writing, the AD module that comes with RAST does not work with PowerShell Core 6.0.
However, this guide explains how you can manage Active Directory from PowerShell Core even on macOS
and Linux.
Windows 7 ^
On a Windows 7 computer, you can follow this procedure to install the Active Directory module:
https://4sysops.com/wiki/how-to-install-the-powershell-active-directory-module/ 2/21

(https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/449877/Active-Directory-Module-for-Windows-PowerShell-on-
Windows-7.png)
If the Windows 7 machine only has PowerShell 2.0 installed, you have to add the Import-Module ActiveDi-
rectory command to your profile (https://4sysops.com/archives/the-powershell-profile/) because PowerShell
doesn't load modules automatically. For instance, you can import the module in %UserProfile%\My
Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1. Makes sure you've set your execution policy to either Remote-
Signed or Unrestricted: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned.
Another option is to open the module from the Administrative Tools folder in the Control Panel.

(https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/449877/Active-Directory-Module-in-Administrative-Tools.png)
One difference is that you don't have to download RSAT because the tools are already available on Win-
dows Server 2008 R2.
After copying the module to your computer, you have to import it:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
Or you can right-click the PowerShell icon on the taskbar and select Import system modules.

(https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/449877/Import-system-
modules.png)
As on Windows 7, if you want to make the import permanent, you have to add the above import command
to your PowerShell profile. Notice this description assumes you haven't updated PowerShell 2 on your Win-
dows Server 2008 R2 machine (see the description about Windows 7).
Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 ^
As on Windows Server 2008 R2, the AD module is already installed on domain controllers on Windows
Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows Server 2016. On member servers, you can add the
module as a feature in Server Manager.

with-PowerShell.png)
There's no need to import the Server Manager module first, as on Windows Server 2008 R2. You also don't
have to import the AD module after the installation.
If you want to verify the successful installation of the module, you can just run the Get-ADuser cmdlet.
3. Load the WindowsCompatibility module like usual with the Import-Module cmdlet
Import-Module -Name WindowsCompatibility
The simplest option is to create an interactive remote session to your domain controller with the Enter-
PSsession cmdlet:
Enter-PSsession MyDomainConroller
You can then work right away with the AD cmdlets. This option is good if you only occasionally manage AD
on a PowerShell console and if you don't have to execute local scripts.

interactive-remote-session.png)
The second option uses implicit remoting and allows you to run the AD cmdlets from a local session. How-
ever, you execute the AD cmdlets remotely on a domain controller. In practice, you won't notice much of dif-
ference in locally installed cmdlets. To import the AD module on PowerShell Core 6.0, execute these
commands:
(https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/449877/Import-the-AD-module-on-PowerShell-Core-6.0.png)
The first command creates a PowerShell session (PSsession) on the domain controller (replace MyDomain-
Controller with the name of your DC) and establishes a persistent connection. Next, we import the ActiveDi-
rectory module from this remote PSsession into our local session.
You can now use all AD module cmdlets on your local PowerShell Core console. Just keep in mind the com-
mands always execute remotely.
If you often work with AD, you can add the above commands to your profile, for instance in
Documents\PowerShell\Profile.ps1.
Alternatively, you can export the AD cmdlets from a remote session to a local module:
Remove-PSSession -Session $S
Import-Module RemoteAD
https://4sysops.com/wiki/how-to-install-the-powershell-active-directory-module/ 7/21
8/23/2021 How to install the PowerShell Active Directory module | 4sysops
(https://4sysops.com/wp-content/uploads/bp-attachments/449877/Exporting-the-Active-Directory-module-to-a-local-
module.png)
These commands will create a local module in your Documents folder under
PowerShell\Modules\RemoteAD. However, like with the above solution, you will be working with implicit re-
moting, and all cmdlets will execute remotely. The local RemoteAD module only links to the cmdlets on the
domain controller. If you want to use the RemoteAD module on other machines with PowerShell Core, sim-
ply copy the RemoteAD folder to the PowerShell Core module folder on the second machine.
The difference with the "import solution" is that in the "export solution," PowerShell only establishes a con-
nection to the domain controller when you use an AD cmdlet the first time. You also don't have to add the
above commands to your profile because PowerShell will load the local RemoteAD module automatically.
However, the downside to this option is you might have to repeat the procedure after updating the AD mod-
ule on the domain controller.
$env:windir/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/Modules/ActiveDirectory
If you used the export solution, the RemoteAD module will be in this folder:
$env:userprofile/Documents/PowerShell/Modules/RemoteAD

ent-folders.png)
PowerShell Core does not import modules in WindowsPowerShell folders, and Windows PowerShell does
not load PowerShell Core modules, which are always in PowerShell folders. Thus, you don't have to worry
about conflicts between the different AD modules in PowerShell Core and Windows PowerShell.
Conclusion ^
Using the Active Directory module has become simpler with each PowerShell version up to Microsoft's re-
lease of PowerShell Core 6.0. However, working with implicit remoting and remote sessions has various ad-
vantages. One advantage is that you can use disconnected remote sessions
(https://4sysops.com/archives/powershell-disconnected-remote-sessions/). This allows you to start a script,
shut down your client computer, and retrieve the results from the remote machine later. If you often work
with remote sessions, you should become familiar with the different ways you can use PowerShell remote
sessions (https://4sysops.com/archives/powershell-remote-jobs-indisconnectedsession-asjob-and-start-
job/). Once you get used to working with remoting, you probably won't miss the local AD module for Power-
Shell Core.

Forgive my ignorance, I'm assuming the command will create a .ps1, so that each time I run
PowerShell from within my profile, it will execute the AD module import automatically.
Anyways, it still throwing the same error, but this time it has recognised/picked up my profile
name. I'll go away and spend a bit of time researching t o resolve this and post any findings
that may help anyone.

If you want to load a module automatically, you have to copy it to a module folder. Run $env:PSModulePath
to get a list of your module folders.

Your issue is the space between My and Documents. The line should read:
However, this is not what the article said do. It said add:
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
To:
"$env:userprofileMy DocumentsWindowsPowershellprofile.ps1"
So what you could do is the following to append the commend to the existing profile.ps1 or create it if
missing.

Michael,
Thank you for giving so much to the community and for this article in particular. I recall the euphony that the
PS community had when Windows Server 2008 R2 came out. My question is can AD Modules and func-
tionality be done on a Windows Server 2008 R1 Server; and are there instructions on how to accomplish
this?

Dennis, thanks! Do you mean Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2008? There is no R1. On
R2, it should work (as discussed in the article). I am unsure if the AD module works on Windows Server
2008 because this Windows version only supports PowerShell 2
(https://4sysops.com/archives/powershell-versions-and-their-windows-version/). I think you will need this

To be able to run AD powershell scripts against a Windows Server 2008 domain controller, it seems
the install of the Active Directory Management Gateway Service is required.
To install the Active Directory Management Gateway Service on Windows Server 2008 domain con-
troller, it requires a hotfix that is mentioned in the link you provided:
(https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969166)https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/969166

However, the download site seems to no longer be valid. Does you or anyone know how to obtain this
hotfix? Or perhaps if there's another workaround to be able to run Active Directory powershell scripts
against a Windows Server 2008 domain controller?

Chris, I guess you tried the commands on a Windows client. As described in the article, Add-Windows-
Feature only works on Windows Server. Install-WindowsFeature (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-
us/powershell/module/servermanager/install-windowsfeature?view=winserver2012r2-ps) replaces Ad-
WindowsFeature. But I guess Ad-WindowsFeature will still work for a while.

That works brilliantly, but it just has not been that perfect because it won't work if I set it as a task scheduller.
