PowerShell for Active Directory

Another desirable skill I’ve been seeing on job postings is PowerShell. Foruntately PowerShell and Active Directory go hand in hand as PowerShell allows you to manipulate basically anything about a Windows machine through code. By using PowerShell ISE, I can create a basic script that allows me to configure new users and assign them to pre-established groups on the fly.

This is just a basic script, but this can easily be scaled up to include other functions and prompts to include other info a sysadmin/business might want to utilize.

(Unfortunately this script is on a VM, which does not allow me to easily copy the plain text here)
