 [[-Options] <UpdateDomainOptions[]>] [[-CredentialProvider] <String>] [-ContextPrompt] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
 [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

Brings a domain into compliance with the desired state. It implements a wide variety of settings against the targeed domain, whether it be OUs, groups, users, gpos, acls or many more items.

Note on order:

  • OU Creation and Updating should be done first, but DELETING ous (OUHard) should be one of the last operations performed.
  • Acl & Access operations should be performed last
  • Managing group policy yields best results in this order: 1. Create new GPO 2. Create Links, only disabling undesired links 3. Delete unneeded GPO 4. Delete undesired links This is due to the fact that "unneeded GPO" are detected by being linked into managed GPOs.
