Creating Scripts using On-Premises Active Directory

PowerScripts can be created to leverage On-Premises Active Directory, using these VitalSigns specific guidelines.


Parameters

When creating a script for use in VitalSigns with the intent of accessing On-Premises Active Directory, the following Parameters should be included.

  • Server
  • Credentials

For an example, a simple command like this:

Get-ADUser

Would become this:

Get-ADUser -Server "adServer.domain.com" -Credential $Credential

There is no need to put the Credentials in Plaintext in the script, as VitalSigns leverages its ability to store and encrypt the necessary credentials within the Credentials vault, accessible in the Application Settings page within the Configurator category.
