Active Directory Automation with PowerShell

Key Areas for AD Automation

# Automated AD User Provisioning Script Example
Import-Module ActiveDirectory

$Users = Import-Csv -Path "C:\HR\NewHires.csv"

foreach ($User in $Users) {
    $Password = ConvertTo-SecureString "P@ssw0rd2026!" -AsPlainText -Force

    New-ADUser -Name "$($User.FirstName) $($User.LastName)" `
               -GivenName $User.FirstName `
               -Surname $User.LastName `
               -SamAccountName $User.Username `
               -UserPrincipalName "$($User.Username)@company.com" `
               -Path "OU=Employees,DC=company,DC=com" `
               -AccountPassword $Password `
               -Enabled $true `
               -ChangePasswordAtLogon $true

    Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $User.DepartmentGroup -Members $User.Username
    Write-Host "Provisioned $($User.Username) successfully." -ForegroundColor Green
