Problem running a PS that makes AD calls.
I'm having problems running a powershell script. The script is short. It asks for my AD credentials and then checks when my password will expire.
I've installed a new Windows 10 machine and it's not running despite having downloaded PS 5.1 and the RSAT for Windows 10. I've done the usual enabling of script running, but despite having downloaded the RSAT (for 64-bit Windows) I get the error message:
"Get-ADUser : The term 'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again."
I recall seeing this before when I haven't downloaded the RSAT module, but I've tried now to do this combo also on some Windows 7 images I run in VMWare Workstation. Is there perhaps something about the PS 5.1 that is causing issues? Something in a path? I don't recall having run into this before, but I only recall having downloaded PS 5.0 before.

It's actually my Windows 7 VMs that are struggling. My windows 10 install is working okay now.
if I type import-module activedirectory I get the message "the specified module 'activedirectory' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory".
If I try to re-download though it says already installed for RSAT.

I didn't realize I needed to turn on any features in Windows 7. I found a page showing which ones to enable. Thanks.
I'm glad it's resolved for you! Please remember to close the question.
