Hi,

I have created a form window using PowerShell to just install ADDS in a server. I click the start button it starts the function but then instead of installing the feature it gets stuck in 10 % and displays warning.

Warning message:

warning: the plug-in for “active directory domain services” is taking more time to load than expected.

Code:

```
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Drawing
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles()
[System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventHandler]
 

$Form = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Form
$Form.ClientSize = '600,200'
$Form.text = "DC Promotion "
$Form.TopMost = $true

$Button1 = New-Object system.Windows.Forms.Button
$Button1.text = "Start"
$Button1.width = 150
$Button1.height = 30
$Button1.DialogResult = [System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult]::OK
$Button1.location = New-Object System.Drawing.Point(200, 140)
$Button1.Font = 'Segoe UI,10'
$Button1.Add_Click({Button1_Click;})

$Form.controls.AddRange(@( $Button1))

######### code Starts ###########

function Button1_Click()
{

            Install-WindowsFeature –Name AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools
            }
      
####### end of code ######

[void]$Form.Add_Shown({ $Form.Activate() })

[void]$Form.ShowDialog()
```

Don’t understand running the code only from PowerShell does the job but using it form get it stuck.
