You need to import the ActiveDirectory module:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory

To check if it exists:

Get-Module -ListAvailable

If you don't see the ActiveDirectory module, then it's because you did not install AD LDS Users and Computer Feature. Go to Manage - Add Roles & Features. Within Add Roles and Features Wizard, on Features tab, select Remote Server Administration Tools, select - Role Admininistration Tools - Select AD DS and DF LDS Tools.

ActiveDirectory module is present by default in windows server 2008 R2, install it in this way:

Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature RSAT-AD-PowerShell
