Introduction

Windows Command shell program that is a wrapper for ADDS toolset: - DSQUERY - DSGET - DSADD - DSMOD - DSMOVE

The advantage of using ADDS Tool over something like Active Directory Explorer:

• Command shell is faster.
• Navigating shell menu is quicker.
• Every search is saved to log file; text files are easy to extract information from, and stores a historical search record.
• ADDS Tool allows setting parameters, most important is the -limit parameter, which by default is set to -limit 0.

Why not PowerShell? I like the windows command shell. It does most of what’s needed. When the shell is lacking, PowerShell can be leveraged, which the program does.

Dependencies

ADDS_Tool requires (RSAT) Remote Server Administrative Tools. The program will ask to install if not detected, using DISM. Must be runnig with administartive privilege in order to install RSAT.

PowerShell: Leveraged for some functions.
