Group Policy are the essential factors of the Active Directory Domain Controller, if anyone is using the Active Directory on their environment the first thing he would like to configure is GPO. Which will control the method of giving facility and responsibilities to the users, but in the same organization it does have less GPO then it is quite easy to manage.

[script]AD User, Group and Computer Detail
Few Days back, one of my client has requested if we can write a script for him on the details of user, group and computer within his environment.

You can download this script from below link. Also, I have attached the output snap of the script. The output of this script can be stored on local disk or can be send using email. 🙂
[solved] Expire AD account immediately
Hey, Hi I am back again with the few tips on Active Directory User Accounts. There are few scenarios that we want to expire the account immediately, or sometime we just want to expire account or Password for testing purpose. In case of the password expire, you cannot do it immediately. Instead you can expire the account and select the option for the ‘User must change password at next logon’, so when you login next time password is expired. if you go to your ‘Active Directory Users and Computers’ to the users property, you will not find any facility to expire the user on desired time or just immediate. If you go with the GUI mode, you need to wait till next day. Here are the properties of the User Account on below snap.

[HOW TO] Disable default share on workstations.
Recently I have been working with a certain project of Active Directory and working on the centralized system. After completing my work over there I face one issue of Default share.
