Enterprise-grade PowerShell automation for Windows Server — modular, secure, and ready for production.
- Recommendation: Use this suite to deploy, secure, and operate Windows Server roles with repeatable, audited automation.
- Why: Reduce risk and time-to-value with opinionated scripts, security baselines, and tests across 19 solutions.
- How: Modular PowerShell modules, JSON templates, examples, and CI-friendly tests under each solution folder.
- Next: Pick a solution folder (e.g., Active Directory, AD CS, Hyper‑V) and run its Quick Start.
A comprehensive collection of 19 production-ready PowerShell solutions for Windows Server environments, covering Active Directory, Certificate Services, Hyper-V, DNS, DHCP, LAPs, and more. Built with enterprise security, compliance, and scalability in mind.
