As "me1" has mentioned you can do this assuming that your version of Windows 7 is either Professional or Ultimate, the PC is on the domain and you have preinstall the Remote Server Administration Tools (Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu or newer) then you'll be able to do the following:

Step 1. Select "Start", select "Control Panel", select "Programs" and click on "Turn Windows features on or off".

Step 2. Check the following 5 features:

"remote server administration tools>feature administration tools>group policy management tools"

"remote server administration tools>feature administration tools>smtp server tools"

"remote server administration tools>role administration tools>ad ds and ad lds tools>active directory module for windows powershell"

"remote server administration tools>role administration tools>ad ds and ad lds tools>ad ds tools>active directory administrative center"

"remote server administration tools>role administration tools>ad ds and ad lds tools>ad ds tools>ad ds snap-ins and command-line tools"

Step 3. Click "OK".
