Right.

First need to use Install-WindowsFeature to install the AD DS binaries. To then promote a server domain controller, use Install-ADDSForest, Install-ADDSDomain, or Install-ADDSDomainController. Finally, to demote a domain controller, use Uninstall-ADDSDomainController. (For a force removal, you can use Uninstall-ADDSDomainController – ForceRemoval or even Dcpromo.exe /ForceRemoval.)
