Installing Windows IDMU
The Identity Management for UNIX (IDMU) feature is included in Windows Server. This feature needs to be installed on the primary domain controller, as well as on any backup domain controllers. It is not installed by default. There are two components that need to be installed in order for IDMU to function correctly.
Note: IDMU was deprecated in Windows Server 2012 and is not included in Windows
Server 2016. For more information see Clarification regarding the status of Identity Management for Unix
(IDMU) & NIS Server Role in Windows Server 2016
Technical Preview and beyond.

- Under Roles, select Active Directory Domain Services.
- Under Role Services, select Add Role Services.
- Under the Identity Management for UNIX role service, select Server for Network Information Services.
- Click Next, then Install.
