PrimalForms & PowerShell AD Tool

We are in the middle of a file migration and our policy dictates that as our file shares are moved they need to have the following structure:

• Access.Neurosurgery.Public.Change
• Access.Neurosurgery.Public.Full
• Access.Neurosurgery.Public.Read

So every time a new group is requested, the admin has to create 3 distinct groups, assign the scope & type and add the "Managed By" username. Not hard, but time consuming. This looked like a great candidate for PrimalForms!

The UI is pretty straight forward. It asks for the group name, the scope and the owner.


When the Verify Group button is pressed, we perform a few checks before we create the groups. First we check to see if there are similar groups. In this case, the panel is now visible and the status bar indicates that like groups already exist.


Once we verify the group name, we need to verify that the entered group owner is in fact a legitimate AD object.


In this case, the user is not valid. Once all the data is verified, we give the user one last chance to cancel before the groups are created.


That's about it!

Enjoy!
