For most workloads in most environments, this CPU overhead is typically less than 2%. However, group member enumeration of very large security groups (for example, groups with more than 10,000 members) can becoming singifcantly (2x-3x) more expensive. For example, enumerating the group members of a security group with 20,000 members may take 200 milliseconds before enabling the PAM feature, and 400 milliseconds after enabling the PAM feature. These numbers are only an example and will vary based on multiple factors such as the domain controller's hardware, size of the security group, etc. + + + ``` $of = get-ADOptionalFeature -filter "name -eq 'privileged access management feature'" Enable-ADOptionalFeature $of -scope ForestOrConfigurationSet -target "priv.contoso.local"
