## Synopsis

A PowerShell module to manage Active Directory without the Remote Server Administration Tools.

## Description

The goal of this project is to write functions that can replace the most commonly used cmdlets in the **ActiveDirectory**  PowerShell module.

> [!NOTE]

> This concept has already been started by others and I need to look into contributing to those modules instead of starting another reinvented wheel from scratch.

> - [PSOpenAD by @JBorean93](https://github.com/jborean93/PSOpenAD): Cross-platform PowerShell module alternative to Microsoft's Active Directory module.

> - [AdsiPS by @LazyWinAdmin](https://github.com/lazywinadmin/AdsiPS): PowerShell module to interact with Active Directory using ADSI and the System.DirectoryServices namespace (.NET Framework).

### Design Principles

- All code must be open source

- Structure and portability:

  - Avoid code re-use by functions in the module

  - Also provide a way for individual functions to be pulled and work independently (map any function dependencies and export individual function "packages")

- Methods:

  - Use .NET types whenever possible

  - Use the ADSISearcher type if necessary

  - Use embedded C# code?

- Focus on 'Get' functions over 'Set' functions

- Function prefix 'NR': `{Verb}-NR{Noun}`

- Return native Active Directory object types that are consistent with the types returned by the related ActiveDirectory module's cmdlets; return rich custom objects otherwise

### Work in Progress
