Review

ADSI makes it easy to connect to and manipulate domains. You've seen how to query and modify domain-level attributes, and how to create, modify, query, and delete domain-level objects, such as OUs. These techniques can be applied not only to OUs, but also to users and groups, as you'll see in the next chapter. Having the ability to easily manipulate domain and OU information from script can allow you to restructure domains, automate bulk domain configuration tasks, and much more.

COMING UP

In the next chapter, I'll dive a bit deeper into ADSI and show you how to create, modify, and delete users and groups. I'll also show you tricks for querying ADSI, such as determining whether a user is a member of a particular group.
