[<CommonParameters>]
The Enable-ADOptionalFeature enables an Active Directory optional feature that is associated with a particular Domain mode or Forest mode.
Active Directory optional features that depend on a specified domain mode or Forest mode must be explicitly enabled after the domain mode or
forest mode is set.
The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory optional feature that you want to enable. 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
Enable-ADOptionalFeature cmdlet.
The Scope parameter specifies the scope at which the optional feature will be enabled. Possible values for this parameter are Domain and
Forest.
The Target parameter specifies the domain or forest on which the optional feature will be enabled. You can identify the domain or forest by
its fully-qualified domain name (FQDN), NetBIOS name, or distinguished name (DN) of the domain naming context (domain NC).
