Windows 10: How to start Active Directory with Advances Features enabled at startup VM

Hi all,Looking to be able to change the desktop shortcut or add a GPO to the computer/user of a remote VM that we have Admins log into to do work on AD and GPO. When I sign into said VM the account is new/fresh every time. This means I need to enable advanced features every single time I open AD. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe a PowerShell script shortcut that opens it? IDKThanks!

How to start Active Directory dsa.msc with Advances Features enabled at startup

Solved it.

I just had to clear the cache of AD.

File → Options → Delete files

After that I set up the Advanced features by View → Advanced features.

Then File → Exit

When I logged back to AD advanced features was already enabled.

How to start Active Directory dsa.msc with Advances Features enabled at startup

I would like to log in to AD with advanced features already enabled with a shortcut.

I had no success finding the right switch for dsa.msc for my shortcut. The help section in the service didn't provide anything useful info, neither pages on the net. I also tried command line for help with C:\Windows\System32\dsa.msc /? to see if I could
find params for lauching, but to no avail.

The shortcut I made so far looks something like this:

C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /netonly /user:_DOMAIN\USERNAME_ "mmc %SystemRoot%\system32\dsa.msc /SERVER=_SERVERNAME_"

How should I amend it?

I can't save the console setting, btw as I am not an admin for the workstation.

Could you also please provide me with a list of shortcut for startup parameters or where to find those?

Thanks in advance.
