−You can use Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) tools such as _Ldp.exe_ and _Adsiedit.msc_ to view the current domain and forest functional level settings. The most common method to upgrade the domain and forest functional levels is to use the Active Directory Domains and Trusts console, found in the Remote Server Administration Tools (RSAT). You can either configure the functional level using the console or use PowerShell cmdlets. For more information about how to manually configure the functional level, see [View and set the functional level manually](#view-and-set-the-functional-level-manually). For more information about how to use Windows PowerShell to configure the functional level, see [Set-ADDomainMode](/powershell/module/activedirectory/set-adforestmode) and [Set-ADDomainMode](/powershell/module/activedirectory/set-addomainmode).
