Hello @Sunirmal Chakraborty ,

Thank you for posting here.

Based on my test in my lab.

1-I installed RSAT on one non Domain-joined Windows 10 machine.

2-Then I should set Preferred DNS on this non Domain-joined Windows 10 machine.

Tip: I have two DCs in a.com, they are both DNS servers and DC servers (the IP address of them are 192.168.3.50 and 192.168.3.57).

3-I open AD Users and Computers. I right click Active Directory Users and Computers and click Change Domain, then I type a.com and check "Save this domain setting for the current console".

4-I will view/manage all objects on one DC in the domain.

In my case, I can create a domain user.

Hope the information above is helpful to you.

Should you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
Daisy Zhou
