Install Active Directory PowerShell module on Windows Server 2012

  • 772

I need to install the AD PowerShell module on Windows Server 2012 but I can't afford for the server to restart during business hours.

My question is can the AD module be installed from Add/Remove Windows Features without requiring a restart?

If so which AD Modules are required (minimum) for PowerShell to run this command

Search-ADAccount -LockedOut
active-directory

  1. Yes you can install and use with no reboot required.

    Also I want to be clear that this is only for installing the Powershell module. Not all of Active Directory in its entirety. Installing Active Directory is an entirely different thing.
