Need

Finding the correct command, entering parameters accurately and understanding operational risk took time in Active Directory work. Repeated user, computer, group, LAPS and audit tasks needed a consistent workflow.

Approach

I collected common operations in a searchable desktop catalogue. The operator enters only the required values; the application presents the explanation, access level, risk label and copyable PowerShell command together.

Scope

  • User, computer and group operations
  • Windows LAPS and legacy AdmPwd checks
  • GPO, DNS, DC, FSMO and replication checks
  • Account lockout and Security Event auditing
  • New user and bulk CSV user creation
  • Favorites, quick diagnostics and .ps1 export

Security

The application never executes commands automatically. Read-only, modifying and critical operations use separate risk labels. Passwords are never written in clear text to the application, command or file.

Technical requirements

Core requirements are Windows 10/11 or Windows Server, Windows PowerShell 5.1 and the RSAT ActiveDirectory module. LAPS, GPO, DNS and remote computer tasks also require the relevant modules and access rights.
