3. Once we have figured out the service name and the module name, we now have to go ahead and install it.
Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services
This command will extract all required binary files and start the installation procedure.
4. Let’s create a new forest.

Uninstall-ADDSDomainController | Uninstall the domain controller from the server |
To install the Active Directory with the default configuration, execute the following command:
Install-ADDSForest
This will install the basic features and functions, however, if you want to install a customized setup:
Install-ADDSForest
-CreateDnsDelegation:$false
-DatabasePath “C:\Windows\NTDS”
-DomainMode “Win2012R2”
-DomainName “yourdomain.com”
-DomainNetbiosName “YOURDOMAIN”
-ForestMode “Win2016”
-InstallDns:$true
-LogPath “C:\Windows\NTDS”
-NoRebootOnCompletion:$false
-SysvolPath “C:\Windows\SYSVOL”
-Force:$true
Once you execute this, you will be asked to enter SafeModeAdministratorPassword – this is for the Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM). Once you set this password here Windows will finish the AD installation and configuration on your Windows Server based on the input provided.
