Install-WindowsFeature -Name RSAT-AD-Tools To verify:
On Windows 10/11, you can install only the ADUC snap-in without other RSAT tools (like DHCP or Group Policy) by using the optional features UI and selecting only the "AD DS Tools" sub-feature. If you cannot install software on your local machine, use these alternatives: a. Run ADUC from a Domain Controller via Remote Desktop Connect to a domain controller via RDP and use its native ADUC installation. b. Use the Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC) ADAC is a PowerShell-driven web-based interface (though it's actually a local GUI tool). Install it the same way as ADUC – it's included in the same RSAT feature. c. PowerShell with AD Module (No GUI) Even without ADUC, you can manage AD using the ActiveDirectory module:
Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) is the primary Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in for administering Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS). It allows administrators to create, delete, modify, and organize users, groups, computers, organizational units (OUs), and other directory objects.
