The CData Cmdlets PowerShell Module for Microsoft Active Directory models Microsoft Active Directory entities in relational tables and stored procedures.

Tables

The included Tables cover many standard Active Directory object classes. You can easily extend the schemas to map more closely to your Active Directory classes. The schemas are defined in simple configuration files.

To use custom tables and schemas, set the Location property to the folder containing the schema files. The schemas shipped with the cmdlet are located in the db subfolder of the installation directory.

See Working with Active Directory Tables for a guide to customizing table schemas.

Stored Procedures

Stored Procedures are function-like interfaces to the data source. They can be used to access Microsoft Active Directory functionality not represented as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE.
