• Check if the required Ad Domain Services are installed

  Get-WindowsFeature -Name AD-Domain-Services

  
  
• Enter the Credentials you want to connect to (if you are trying to connect to a different domain than the computer you are running it is joined to)

  $cred = Get-Credential

  This will open the following dialog
  
  
• Get AD Users from the specified domain (again if you are trying to connect to a different domain than the computer you are running it is joined to)

  $users = Get-ADUser -Server '<FQDN>' -Credential $cred -Filter '(ObjectClass -eq "user")'

  
  If you are connecting to the own domain the -Server and -Credential flag have to be omitted:

  $users = Get-ADUser -Filter '(ObjectClass -eq "user")'

• To show the content of the $users variable just run

  $users
