Funny how a simple "what if AD user management looked different" discussion can lead fairly quickly to 700 lines of Powershell that makes ten people's jobs somewhat easier.

I can't exactly say I'm proud of this, but I was somewhat surprised by how relatively easy it was to pull a basic GUI together...

If you'd like to look at an alternative commercial solution in a similar vein, we offer Directify. It's offers self-serve management through a web interface. It works with any LDAP server and works on Linux & Windows platforms: https://www.dirwiz.com/directify

I'll be honest, I had no idea powershell could be used to build GUIs! I found it impressive enough just on its CLI merits.
