    Hello,

    For this you will need to install the ADUC console (Active Directory Users and Computers) that you can find in the next link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45520

    After that you may need to enable the feature through:

    1.Click the Start button and select Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off.

    2.Scroll down the list and expand Remote Server Administration Tools.

    3.Expand Role Administration Tools.

    4.Expand AD DS and AD LDS Tools.

    5.Check AD DS Tools, then select “OK.”

    6.When the install completes you will have a folder for Administrative Tools on the Start menu. ADUC should be in this list.
