Installing Active Directory on Windows Server 2012 using PowerShell

I. Introduction


In this task, you will add a Windows feature using Add-WindowsFeature and Install-WindowsFeature. The Add-WindowsFeature cmdlet provide a faster interface as opposed to using the GUI in adding a Windows Feature like Active Directory Domain Services.
