In one of my earlier posts, I showed you to deploy Windows Server 2016 read-only domain controller using server manager. However, if you are using Window Server 2016 core version you only have the option to use PowerShell.
In this article, I have compiled six useful PowerShell cmdlets which can help you to install, configure and manage an RODC on Server 2016 core version.
