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.

@AndySvintsI think powershell for unix is not very useful if it cannot be used for connect to active directory..
