DESCRIPTION


The Set-ADDomainMode cmdlet sets the domain mode for a domain. You specify the domain mode by setting the DomainMode parameter.


The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory domain to modify. You can identify a domain by its distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID), DNS domain
name, or NetBIOS name. You can also set the Identity parameter to a domain object variable such as $<localADDomainObject>, or you can pass a domain object through the
pipeline to the Identity parameter. For example, you can use the Get-ADDomain cmdlet to retrieve a domain object and then pass the object through the pipeline operator to
the Set-ADDomainMode cmdlet.


The Set-ADDomainMode cmdlet always prompts for permission unless you specify -confirm:$false.
