get-acl command

To be able to make use of commands such as get-acl etc, aside from powershell, do I need to install anything else on my system so these commands can be run? If so where can I download these tools from?

so theres no seperate install for the cmdlets, the cmdlets are essentially preinstalled with powershell?

Powershell comes with Windows 7. If you want to use active directory cmdlets from windows 7 machine, then you need to follow the instructions given in the site you posted.

If you want to use AD cmdlets from server 2008 etc i guess its already installed on server.
Not all modules are installed on windows 7. It depends on what cmdlets you want to run on the machine.
even if you want to install them then its not difficult.

What is your plan?

My plan is to install whatever I need/is required on Windows 7 to be able to use the cmdlets in my queries. I dont have access to a 2008 server so will need to do this manually.

what type of queries you have?
Are you planning to use Active Directory cmdlets from your windows 7, then you need to follow the link you posted and run from windows 7.
If you dont want to use AD in your queries you just dont need to install it.
