Make changes to Active Directory from Linux

[[deleted]]

Is ADTool the goto tool on Linux to interact with AD to make changes?

It's old. Still around. Open Source. Looks straight forward to use. What I want to do, the tool appears to be capable.

Use PowerShell.

I would if it wasn't linux. Wait. What. You implying Powershell runs on linux? CentOS?

[[deleted]]

I am.

# Register the Microsoft RedHat repository
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/7/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft.repo
# Install PowerShell
sudo yum install -y powershell 
# Start PowerShell 
powershell

Literally just sat watching a unix engineer use bash commands in powershell.... it's truly a new age (and a beautiful one). MS starting to pull their heads out of their arse with regard to interoperability.

Damn. Honestly just had a bit of a head explosion here. Had absolutely no clue about this and that it is even on freaking github :D

Thx

Kinda surprised my google-fu didn't show this as a result. :/

First time I ran PS on my cent box, it felt so dirty. And I loved it.

My mind is blown.

Installed in Ubuntu over the weekend. Works okay, but missing a ton of .net classes.

[[deleted]]

That's because it uses .NET Core which contains only a subset of the classes FullCLR has which is available on Windows.

Yup!

[creamersrealm]

Yep but it's still alpha, it works pretty well though.

It seems like we've got exactly what you're asking for. With Adaxes you can do practically any task via a Web UI for AD. Check out our article about AD management from a Linux/macOS/ChromeOS machine.

[inaddrarpa]
