The Disable-ADOptionalFeature disables an Active Directory optional feature that is associated with a particular Domain Mode or Forest Mode.
The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory optional feature that you want to disable. You can identify an optional feature by its
distinguished name (DN), feature GUID, or object GUID. You can also set the parameter to an optional feature object variable, such as
$<localOptionalFeatureObject> or you can pass an optional feature object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can
use the Get-ADOptionalFeature cmdlet to retrieve an optional feature object and then pass the object through the pipeline to the
Disable-ADOptionalFeature cmdlet.
The Scope parameter specifies the scope at which the optional feature is disabled. Possible values for this parameter are Domain and Forest.
The Target parameter specifies the domain or forest on which the optional feature is disabled. You can identify the domain or forest by its
fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), NetBIOS name, or the distinguished name (DN) of the domain naming context (domain NC).
