Based on John Hammond's and Lavender's script(s)

Primary LanguagePowerShell

Instructions:

  1. Create a DC with domain name of moros.local
  2. Run rand_users.ps1 script to generate a list of users
  3. Copy generate_ad.ps1, ad-schema.json to the DC @ C:\Windows\Tasks
  4. Run .\generate_ad.ps1 ad-schema.json

This will generate users and local admins on your AD forest.

Install DC

  1. Use sconfig to:

    • Change the hostname
    • Change the IP address to static
    • Change the DNS server to our own IP address (or 127.0.0.1)

  2. Install the Active Directory Windows Feature

Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools
Get-NetIPAddress

Joining the Workstation to the domain

Make sure the workstation's DNS is set to the DC IP

Add-Computer -Domainname moros.local -Credential moros\Administrator -Force -Restart

Random User Generation

To generate a random user, run the following command:

.\rand_users.ps1 ad-schema.json <NUM Users> <NUM Groups> <NUM LocalAdmins>

Example:
.\rand_users.ps1 ad-schema.json 5 5 3

Max No. of Groups: 20

Username Format: First Initial+Lastname (dfriens)

Output:
