If you’ve ever needed to maintain any information in Active Directory, you’ve undoubtedly utilized the Active Directory Users and Computers app. According to Microsoft:

Active Directory Users and Computers is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that is a standard feature of Microsoft Windows Server operating systems. It can be used to administer and publish information in the directory.

I recently received a new laptop from work and had to go through the pains of installing all the necessary (and unnecessary) programs.

Once the install finishes you may need to reboot your machine. After rebooting, you should see the Remote Server Administration Tools as an enabled windows feature:

Now that Remote Server Administration Tools is enabled you can load up the Active Directory Users and Computers application:
