Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

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://community.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

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade ad-tidy-free -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO 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-tidy-free -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Description

Screenshot of AD Tidy

Identify and clean up inactive user and computer accounts in your Active Directory domain

Search your Active Directory domain for user/computer accounts that are no longer in use by filtering based on last logon time, DNS record timestamp, and much more. You can then perform a number of actions on the accounts that were found - such as moving them to another OU, disabling them, setting a random password, removing them from all groups, and much more.

Features

  • Report on both user and computer accounts
  • Search entire domain or select a specific OU
  • Multi-domain friendly - specify any domain and optionally use alternate credentials to connect to it
  • Get account last logon information from all DCs or select specific DCs (using either lastLogon attribute or lastLogonTimeStamp attribute)
  • Choose to only find accounts that have not logged on for a specified number of days
  • Confirm whether or not computer accounts are still active by using the Ping test and DNS record timestamp check
  • Powerful filtering capabilities let you filter results accounts based on name, group membership, expiration date, LDAP attribute, and more
  • Export report results to CSV or Excel XLSX file
  • Save report settings to file so that you can reload them whenever you want or share them with colleagues
  • Option to reverse actions that were previously performed (Standard Edition only)
  • Command line support and Automated Rules allow for automation of account clean up tasks (Standard Edition only)

For any accounts that are found in the report, you can perform one or more of the following actions:

  • Disable
  • Delete
  • Move To Another OU
  • Set Description
  • Set Expiration Date
  • Add To Group
  • Remove From Group
  • Remove From All Groups
  • Hide From Exchange Address Lists
  • Delete home drive
  • Clear LDAP Attribute Value
  • Run External Script
  • Set Random Password
  • Disable OWA
  • Set Password To Never Expire

You can also combine any of these actions into an Action Sequence to speed up common clean up tasks such as disabling accounts and moving them to another OU at the same time. Action sequences can be performed manually on any selected accounts, or by automated rules and command line scripts.

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.
