Don't follow this ancient guide. PowerShell has not been in Alpha for a long time. Just go directly to Microsoft's PowerShell site and get the current, full release.

Whether we can check the locked users from the AD ?

That's not coming from PowerShell. AD Cmdlets are their own Windows tools, not part of PowerShell on Linux or on Windows. PowerShell is only the shell, not the commands. Just like BASH.

So unless someone separately ports the AD tools over to Linux, you won't have access to them. But you can use PowerShell to connect to Windows, but you can do that with SSH already.

So far it is not possible.
