Microsoft Management Console (MMC)

You use Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to create, save and open administrative tools, called consoles, which manage the hardware, software, and network components of your Microsoft Windows operating system.

We can also open the MMC Console from a non-domain joined computer using the following command syntax:

runas /netonly /user:Domain_Name\Domain_USER mmc

Now, you will have the MMC interface:

mmc

We can add any of the RSAT snap-ins and enumerate the target domain in the context of the target user sally.jones in the freightlogistics.local domain. After adding the snap-ins, we will get an error message that the "specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted." From here, we have to right-click on the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in (or any other chosen snap-in) and choose Change Domain.

mmc

Type the target domain into the Change domain dialogue box, here freightlogistics.local. From here, we can now freely enumerate the domain using any of the AD RSAT snapins.
