A collection of production-grade PowerShell tools for large-scale infrastructure orchestration and Active Directory management.
These tools were developed for a high-compliance enterprise environment to facilitate Automated Provisioning.
A core challenge in remote automation is the Kerberos Double-Hop issue, where credentials cannot be passed beyond the first remote server. This toolkit solves that by:
- SPN Orchestration: Programmatically managing Service Principal Names (SPNs) to ensure proper Kerberos delegation.
- Secure Execution: Utilizing a custom remote execution engine that leverages CredSSP and ScriptBlock Casting to allow for local execution on remote targets, enabling complex multi-server provisioning workflows.
Business Value: Ensures Kerberos delegation is correctly configured for automated services.
- Problem Solved: Automates the discovery and validation of SPNs to prevent authentication failures during multi-tier deployments.
- Technical Highlights: LDAP querying via
DirectorySearcherand Regex string parsing.
Business Value: The "plumbing" for enterprise-wide remote provisioning.
- Problem Solved: Handles the secure hand-off of automation scripts to remote endpoints. It manages DNS validation, WSMAN health checks, and 15-minute retry logic for resilient provisioning in flaky network environments.
- Technical Highlights: Dynamic ScriptBlock creation and PSSession management.
Business Value: Automated "as-built" documentation for newly provisioned servers.
- Problem Solved: Validates that a server was provisioned correctly by auditing OS, Storage, IIS, and SQL Server states in one pass.
- Security & Identity: Kerberos, SPN, CredSSP, and Active Directory internals.
- Remote Orchestration: WinRM, PSSessions, and Resilient execution logic.
- Systems Engineering: IIS (Web) and SQL Server (Data) configuration management.
Note: These tools are provided as-is for educational purposes. All scripts have been sanitized to remove sensitive organization-specific data.
