PowerShell module to interact with Active Directory using ADSI and DirectoryServices (.NET)
- No ActiveDirectory module/No Quest AD Snapin required
- Being able to specify different credentials
- Being able to specify different domain
Coming soon...
- Download the repository
- Unblock the zip file
- Extract the folder to a module path (e.g. $home\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules)
- Learning Active Directory: We can't see the code behind the Microsoft ActiveDirectory Module and Quest ActiveDirectory Snapin. This module is a great way to explore and learn on how Active Directory is working,
- Delegation: Active Directory queries need to be performed by a tool (GUI for example) and you don't want it to load AD module. Additionally you don't know who will use the tool and if they have/can/know how to install the module,
- Performance: ADSI is way faster,
- Restricted environment: Sometime ActiveDirectory Module is not available/ or can't install it on a machine.
