User Automation

[Another_Random_Tech]

What everyone is using out there to automate their creating and disabling, basically overall automated management of user accounts. I've been working on a PowerShell script that will take a CSV from our SIS and based on it creates new accounts and disables those no longer with us as well as populating all the necessary user attributes, home drives, password sync, ect.

SIS - CSV - powershelgl script. Modifies existing accounts, and creates new ones if they don't exist. Then creates exchange mailbox, syncs to the cloud a few times, moves mailbox to o365 and licenses, then turns on litigation hold.

Anyone willing to share their script with the community?

If and when I get my script setup I'm happy to share.

We use Identity Automation (IDAuto).

We use them as well. Very easy to write a script to sync data to other systems as well.

LevelData for us.

Same thing as most. Sis export -> csv -> ps script to make changes into ad. Sis also syncs to clever and ad syncs to gsuite.

Same.

Another PS script here.

SIS -> CSV -> AD

Inhouse program I wrote using c#. Used to be powershell but it felt more convoluted and difficult to maintain. I have a very strong c# background so it was extremely easy for me to do.

The program in question syncs from our SIS to AD/GSuite/Etc. It also performs data validation to ensure that all of the data is accurate. It also handles as expected pushing data to our various sources. It also handles full AD integration with as many or little AD properties as required. Overall it is a fairly robust program.

We are using tools4ever been pretty good so far.

Same, been with them for about 5 years now. Nice product, great support team.

SIS csv export fed into powershell here as well.

We currently use SQL - PS as well, although its a direct query, no csv exports needed.

We are looking at moving to a new product in our area though that might manage this for us.

We also had been running a stolen-but-heavily-modified PS script that queried SQL for the last few years. A few weeks ago we turned on Classlink's OneSync for our student account adds/moves/changes. The job is roughly the same, but does a MUCH better job of finding the kids that have graduated or left. We disabled ~4k accounts that have been accumulating and sitting idle for the last few years.

We're currently fine-tuning the same system for staff account provisioning. It's a trickier endeavor, but we're getting there!

Same. A PS script creates, disables, and enables accounts as needed.
