    Windows Server has Domain services and this will allow you to create an Active Directory instance.

    You may also get by with an ADAM instance on your desktop:

    If your computer is part of a domain already you may be able to use the domain servers on your network.  Just be careful not to cause too much traffic on them.

    As long as you fulfill the requirements for AD installation you can install it on your own machine. 

    Please refer to this for the requirements.
