    Hello Jayeshpc,

    Can you please elaborate? What are you trying to achieve?

    Can you please describe your use case?

     

    As described here ActiveDirectory module is only supported in Windows and in PowerShell core relies on WindowsCompatibility module functionality:

     

    Hope that helps.
