🛠️ Introduction

This repository is a comprehensive source of tools and scripts specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of managing Windows Server environments and Windows 10 and 11 workstations. Whether you’re focused on optimizing system performance, boosting security, or streamlining administrative workflows, the tools in the ADAdmin-Tools, BlueTeam-Tools, Core-ScriptLibrary, and ITSM-Templates folders are here to help.

🚀 Features

The repository is divided into core sections, each with its own suite of scripts focusing on different aspects of IT management and compliance:

1. ADAdmin-Tools

  • Automate tasks related to Active Directory (AD) management, such as user, group, and organizational unit (OU) administration.
  • Includes tools for managing DNS, DHCP, Sites and Services, and system synchronization, providing comprehensive solutions for Windows Server environments.
  • These tools streamline routine Active Directory operations, ensuring consistency, security, and compliance within server environments.

2. BlueTeam-Tools

  • Focused on forensic analysis and system monitoring, with tools designed to help Blue Teams detect, analyze, and resolve potential security threats quickly.
  • Integration with Log Parser Utility allows for complex log querying and in-depth data analysis, enhancing security audits, threat detection, and forensic investigations.
  • Includes modules for incident response, enabling administrators to gather crucial information during and after a security breach to minimize risk and damage.

3. Core-ScriptLibrary

  • A set of essential PowerShell scripts focused on creating and managing custom script libraries with a focus on dynamic user interfaces, core functionality, and automation.
  • Ideal for building more complex PowerShell-based solutions, offering foundational scripts that can be customized or extended to meet specific IT administrative needs.
  • These scripts provide templates for automating routine administrative tasks, making script development faster and more efficient.

4. ITSM-Templates
