The sections that follow begin with descriptions of a few helpful command line utilities. The
chapter progresses to looking at specific kinds of objects and showing how you can manipulate
them. Finally, the chapter discusses how you can work with users, groups, and computers.
In this chapter, you??™ll learn how to do the following:
?
Manage Active Directory using the WMIC NTDomain alias
?
Create, list, edit, move, manage, and delete Active Directory objects
?
Maintain the directory services database using the NTDSUtil utility
?
Manage users, groups, and computers
Managing Directory Services Using the WMIC
NTDomain Alias
As with many WMIC commands (see the ???Configuring Server Core Using the WMIC Command???
section of Chapter 3 for details), the NTDomain alias supports the ASSOC, CREATE, DELETE,
GET, LIST, and SET actions. You use these actions just as you would for any other alias. The important
issue is that you can obtain Active Directory information using the NTDomain alias for the
local machine. Remember that WMIC is essentially a local configuration command and not a global
settings command. You??™ll use the other utilities in this chapter to perform global tasks.
