Welcome to the SelfADSI Project! The SelfADSI Tutorial introduces administrators to the scripting in Active Directory environments and other LDAP directory systems. The aim is to understand and being able to develop directory scripts without having specific previous knowledge in Active Directory or LDAP. Preferred scripting language is Visual Basic Script (VBScript), but Powershell is also in focus. AD scripting / LDAP scripting is easy - learn it with SelfADSI.
