Powershell is fast becoming the way to perform many administrative tasks in Windows environments today. In this episode we build on the idea of extracting Active Directory User and Group information using DSQuery and DSGet, adding to it the ability to automatically process CSV files using Powershell.

The goal of the episode is to give you a quick and easy tool to allow you to compare the users who actually exist in your domain to the employees that Human Resources says that you have.
