AD Sync PowerShell - Shell-Bash

AD Sync PowerShell is a command-line tool that facilitates the synchronization of Active Directory objects with third-party services. It is a Shell-Bash script that can be used on Linux and Unix-based systems, as well as on Windows.

AD Sync PowerShell is highly configurable and flexible. It allows you to synchronize specific attributes of Active Directory objects, exclude certain objects, and customize the synchronization interval. This tool is especially useful when integrating Active Directory with cloud services, such as Azure AD or Office 365.
