CData Cmdlets for Microsoft Active Directory

Overview

The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Microsoft Active Directory allows developers to write PowerShell scripts with connectivity to Microsoft Active Directory. The cmdlets abstract the underlying data source into tables, views, and stored procedures that can be used to both retrieve and update data. The representation of Microsoft Active Directory as a relational database gives the cmdlets a uniform interface and also enables you to execute SQL to Microsoft Active Directory.

Key Features

• Real-time access to Microsoft Active Directory data in Windows PowerShell, with comprehensive support for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations.
• Pipe row objects directly from Microsoft Active Directory into other cmdlets as input.
• Streamlined installation via the Powershell Gallery.
