Once again we have a cool little script that allows for Automation. I find myself working on Laptops everyday and each Laptop will belong to a user who has different types of access and trust me when I say taking notes of these groups are critical. The user won’t know their level access as the admin that’s on you.
But what if there was a way to mirror access to another machine without manually doing it. Well I give you the Mirror Script. This script allows you to mirror all Member Of U groups on a Computer Object inside the Active Directory Database. Here’s a real world example.
A staff member needs a new Laptop as their one fell out of a moving vehicle, You now have a brand new Laptop for them that you plan to image. When done your system automatically adds the basic network and computer groups to the device. But now you need to manually sit through all those other groups on the broken device – Not fun. It’s fairly time consuming especially if the user has a big impact in the business.
This script says Hey Device 1 I can see all the groups and Hello Device 2 here’s all those groups. It’s as easy as two inputs and done. 10 seconds at best.
Why not try it out for yourself. Also remember it’ll only work inside your Active Directory environment 🙂
