I wanted to create and use a managed service account.
In domain controller, I use New-ADServiceAccount to create a MSA (it created a gMSA in Server 2012)
then use Add-AdComputerServiceAccount to tie a computer account(VMM) with this AD service account (not sure if this step is needed for gMSA)
The problem now is, then I go to another server (VMM) to run install-ADServiceAccount
To run this, I need to install the ActiveDirectory module since VMM is not a domain controller.
I copied the Active Directory module folder from my Domain Controller and put it into one of the $env:PSmodulePath
so when i run get-module -list (or -listavailable), I can see ActiveDirectory
But then when I try to run Import-Module Active Directory, I get the following error message.
"was not loaded because no assembly with that name was found."
Question 1, do we need to run install-ADServiceAccount for gMSA? (MSA, we need to do so)
Question 2, are we not able to use ActiveDirectory module in non Domain controller machine?
*VMM might not work with gMSA, but this is not the question :)
All servers are Windows Server 2012 R2 Preview
