Running the below command to the Import the Active Directory powershell cmdlets from a Windows 7 PC returns below error

Initially check if the Active Directory Web Services is started on your Windows 2003 Domain Controller

If yes, you will need to apply a HotFix on the Windows 2003 Server which will enable Windows 7 Clients to locate the  Active Directory Management Gateway Service

Please ensure you restart the Server after installing this Hotfix

You should now be able to run the import-module activedirectory command successfully
