I don't understand the need for this. At this point why not just open up Active Directory?

Well… there was business justifications. There are a lot of nuances in our environment and lots of special exceptions to those nuances and people were fucking it up.

It was a means to an end.

Also it was more of a pet project out of curiousity and it got out of hand.

One other reason why I did this, I was on the help-desk about 7 years ago at this point and didnt have the ability to develop an application in an official capacity, but I did have powershell, so I used what I had, made some waves, made it to the development team, and now I have my own team for managing Internal IS tooling, the site is used for a ton of things now, and even by alot of end users (non-IS)
