Active Directory Automation Script

Project 6 of OpenClassrooms Network Administration Class

This script will automate different administration tasks of Active Directory Management.

Functionalities :

I have developed these functionalities for this demo project

1. create a group
2. unlock locked users
3. create and activate users using a CSV file
4. delete users using a CSV file
5. activate users using a CSV file

Prerequisites

1. install Python

2. install needed packages

   1. install pip

   python -m ensureip --upgrade

   2. install ldap3 package // source : LDAP3

   pip install ldap3

   3. install python-dotenv package // source : Python-dotenv

   pip install python-dotenv

   4. create a .env file in the root directory with your own data :

   SERVER=ipAddress or hostName USER=username
   PASSWORD=YourWonderfulPassword
   SEARCHDC=,DC=company,DC=com
   COMPANY=Company
   DOMAIN=company.com

3. AD controller must accept SSL/TLS connection otherwise password creation won't work and users will have an empty password

You can find csv examples files in the CSV_example_files folder

• csv for user creation:
  • FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, ORGANISATIONAL UNIT
