Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Edit Package
To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.

NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
- Download the Package Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run
choco download ad-acl-scanner --internalize --source=https://chocolatey.org/api/v2
(additional options) - Run
choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'"
for package and dependencies - Automate package internalization
- Run
3. Enter your internal repository url
(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)
4. Choose your deployment method:
choco upgrade ad-acl-scanner -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade ad-acl-scanner -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

- Browse naming context by clicking you way around, either by OU’s or all types of objects.
- Report only explicitly assigned DACLs/SACLs.
- Report on OUs , OUs and Container Objects or all object types.
- Filter DACLs/SACLs for a specific access type.. Where does “Deny” permission exists?
- Filter DACLs/SACLs for a specific identity. Where does "Domain\Client Admins" have explicit access? Or use wildcards like "jdoe".
- Filter DACLs/SACLs for permission on specific object. Where are permissions set on computer objects?
- Skip default permissions (defaultSecurityDescriptor) in report. Makes it easier to find custom permissions.
- Report owner of object.
- Compare previous results with the current configuration and see the differences by color scheme (Green=matching permissions, Yellow= new permissions, Red= missing permissions).
- Report when permissions were modified
- Can use AD replication metadata when comparing.
- Can convert a previously created CSV file to a HTML report.
- Effective rights, select a security principal and match it agains the permissions in AD.
- Color coded permissions based on criticality when using effective rights scan.
- List you domains and select one from the list.
- Get the size of the security descriptor (bytes).
- Rerporting on disabled inheritance .
- Get all inherited permissions in report.
- HTLM reports contain headers.
- Summary of criticality for all report types.
- Refresh Nodes by right-click container object.
- Exclude of objects from report by matching string to distinguishedName
- You can take a CSV file from one domain and use it for another. With replacing the old DN with the current domains you can resuse reports between domains. You can also replace the (Short domain name)Netbios name security principals.
- Reporting on modified default security descriptors in Schema.
- Verifying the format of the CSV files used in convert and compare functions.
- When compairing with CSV file Nodes missing in AD will be reported as "Node does not exist in AD"
- The progress bar can be disabled to gain speed in creating reports.
- If the fist node in the CSV file used for compairing can't be connected the scan will stop.
- Display group members in groups in the HTLM report.
- Present the value of the true SDDL in NTsecurityDescriptor, bypassing Object-Specific ACE merge done when a new instance of the ObjectSecurity class is initialized.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
