'unlock-adaccount' is not recognized in Powershell on Server 2012 r2

Question

I'm trying to use Unlock-ADAccount in a powershell script running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 box. This is what I get:

PS C:\> unlock-adaccount
unlock-adaccount : The term 'unlock-adaccount' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, 
function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path 
was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

I did find a SpiceWorks thread that says RSAT needs to be installed, but its for Windows 10. Can I even install RSAT on Server 2012 R2, and would that fix the missing cmdlet?

Answer 1

This requires the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT), which can be installed via the following PowerShell command: Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online.

Once this has been installed you can load the Active Directory PowerShell using the following PowerShell command: Import-Module ActiveDirectory or IPMO ActiveDirectory.

Once completed the Unlock-ADAccount may be used among other commands from associated RSAT modules

Answer 2

I guess I was just being dumb. I looked in Server Manager and under Features -> Remote Server Administration Tools -> Role Administration Tools -> AD DS and AD LDS Tools you just click Enable Active Directory module for Windows PowerShell.
