Hi guys
I’ve been working on a little Powershell script that would help me install/enable the Active Directory module on Windows clients.
There is an easier method as to install this module on a Windows Server, so I haven’t included that in my script.
This is what I have so far:

I hope someone can use it.

Thanks, this helped me get the AD module installed and working.
Is there a reason you commented out the URLs for installing the RSAT packages instead of auto-browsing to the appropriate one?
E.g. to browse to the Win10 RSAT download URL:
Start-Process https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520

I am still looking for the best solution. I don’t want to leave the powershell window, so I’m trying to download and install by only using powershell.
