So this installs the Web Service. What about the cmdlets and provider? How do we get those installed? The Web Service by itself is worse than useless

@RichardSiddaway

The ADPowershell (cmdlets and the provider) is only available on Windows 7 and Windwos Server 2008 R2. You can use machines with these OS'es to manage your Active Directory forests.

To install powershell on Windows Server 2008 R2, please read: http://blogs.msdn.com/adpowershell/archive/2009/02/25/ad-powershell-quick-start-guide.aspx

To install powershell on Windows 7, please read: http://blogs.msdn.com/adpowershell/archive/2009/03/24/active-directory-powershell-installation-using-rsat-on-windows-7.aspx
