This is a cool Auotmated Script I’ve made which llows you to do one simple task. Search for Active Directory U Groups. If you don’t know what a U group is inside an active directory environment it’s essentially a way to provide data to an object made in the database.
Say you have 3 users, Jack, Tom and Betty. Betty and Tom work inside HR but Jack works in customer service. We may give Betty and Tom similar access inside a corporate environment but we can’t let Jack have access to HR resources. U groups help build department Hierarchy’s so that specific departments, teams and roles get different access depending on their needs. U groups can provide access to:
As an admin you’d give this access to the user accounts of the Computer Objects registered to Active Directory’s Data Bases. So you can imagine that inside a 5000+ supported organisation there are going to be thousands of U Groups that need to be found and if these Groups aren’t always named conventionally, noted down or described to us it’ll be hard to know the name of each group. This is where this script comes in.
The script will search through each U Groups in the database and check if your keyword entered matches anything. This script will save you time spent on searching for the group or even waiting on someone who might know the answer.
Please remember you’ll need an Active Directory installed inside your Virtual Environment/server to allow this script to function correctly. Please have fun using it 🙂
