A PowerShell scripting framework to deploy Active Directory Services on Windows Server 2012 R2 or higher.
- Configuration fully by using the hierarchy of an XML file
- XML Hierarchy follows Active Directory hierarchy:
- Forest
- Forest properties
- sites
- subnets
- DNS
- Forest domain
- domain properties
- optional subdomain(s)
- domain properties
- Domain controllers
- DNS
- OU structure
- Users, groups etc
- Install Domain Controller, autodetect first DC in Forest, or domain or additional DC in existing domain
- use XML element tags to convert to Powershell Parameter splatting, reducing the required code, giving ultimate flexibility in XML
