    This seems to work.  Copy these two folders (there's a GAC_32 as well).  Note that regular users can run some of the commands.


    C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\ActiveDirectory
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management

    Thank you!  Now do you know a way to combine that with 

    Get-ADUser -Filter { Enabled -eq $false } | Select SamAccountName

    Basically I want to match and see if a user profile is on the AD disabled list.

     $user | foreach { Get-Aduser $_ } | where { -not $_.Enabled }

    I tried to use -filter and crashed and burned.

    Can't use -identity with -filter, can't use -not in -filter:

    $user | foreach { 
      Get-Aduser -filter {Name -eq $_ -and Enabled -eq $False} 
    }

    $user is actually a list of multiple users.  So that list gets sent to the foreach loop, and $_ has the value of each user in turn.  I'm taking what $user is from PRASOON's code.

    Simple,

    1. Get the user same using WMI($User = Get-WMIObjectwin32_userprofile -filter "special = false" | Select-Object -ExpandProperty LocalPath | Split-Path -Leaf )

    2. Iterate through each user and check that user is Enabled or not in Active Directory

    None of the proposed methods will work due to fairly obvious reasons.  The only identifier in a user profile is the SID of the associated account.

    Are you saying i can't match a disabled user to Get-WMIObject userprofile?  I am new to powershell and simply trying to match a way for a user profile to run against the ad user's list to determine if any are disabled.  If they are i need it to list and prompt for each user to remove.  Is there a better direction you can point me in?

    If you want to do it with sids:  

    Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_UserProfile -filter "special = false" | 
      select -expand sid | 
      foreach { 
        Get-Aduser -filter { SID -eq $_ -and Enabled -eq $False } 
      }

    I'm trying this on a machine that does not have RSAT.  Is there a way to import the module so I don't have to install it on each machine?

    Yes, you can do it in two ways.

    1. Using Import-PSSession

    #Create a session to the DC
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName <Adserver>

#Import the specified module from that session
Import-PSSession -Session $Session -Module ActiveDirectory


    2. Using Import-Module

    #Creates session to ADServer
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName <AdServer>

#Imports ActiveDirectory module using created Session
Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory -PSSesison $Session

    We would like you to do below exercise first.

    Get-Help Import-PSSession -Full
Get-Help Import-Module -Full

    Maybe you can run get-wmiobject or get-ciminstance with the -computername option remotely (or powershell remote)?
