    I have installed Active Directory Management Gateway Service on my Windows Server 2008 SP2. PowerShell 2.0 is also installed, throuh the Updates. The Server is the Active Directory Domain Controller. I don't see the PowerShell AD Module in Features. The only installed Module in Powershell is BitsTransfer and PSDiagnostics. Any ideas?

    PowerShell V2 and the AD modules are installed by default in Windows Server 2008 R2. Find PowerShell AD Modules on the Start Menu in Administrative Tools.

     Sorry, I missed your thread title has SP2, not R2. I don't have Windows Server 2008, but I would still expect to find PS AD Modules on Start Menu.

    Unfortunately the Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell is only available on Windows 7 (as part of RSAT) and Windows Server 2008 R2.
    The Active Directory Management Gateway Service is a web-service for down-level operatingsystem which the Active Directory module for PowerShell can communicate with.

    You can find more information here.
