PowerShell as an AD management tool

PowerShell provides commands to help you control Active Directory, but you need to understand that PowerShell scripting isn't a cake walk and requires considerable time to solve more than the most basic needs. Active Directory and PowerShell together offer a powerful set of cmdlets to manage standard domain-related tasks.
