Automating User and Computer Onboarding in Active Directory

Overview

This project demonstrates how to automate the process of adding users and computers to an Active Directory (AD) environment. It includes best practices for organizing OUs, applying Group Policy Objects (GPOs), and using PowerShell scripts to streamline deployment and management.

Features

Automated user and computer creation using PowerShell

Logical OU structure (e.g., Europe, Asia, Oceania)

Group Policy configuration for:

  • Drive mapping

  • Password policies

  • User restrictions

  • Domain join automation
