Summary

PowerShell has become the most powerful script language for Windows systems. PowerShell is very useful for systems management but is also an incredibly powerful tool for managing Active Directory infrastructures. Throughout the book, I have used PowerShell for Active Directory configuration and management.

Furthermore, I have shared different commands and scripts that can be used to manage an Active Directory environment efficiently.

Toward the end of the chapter, you learned how to manage Azure AD using the Azure Active Directory PowerShell for Graph module. We also looked into Microsoft Graph and learned how to use it to manage Azure AD. In the next chapter, we will look at Azure AD closely and learn how to manage identities in a hybrid environment.
