What your team walks away with

Navigate any forest

Read the directory the way AD Explorer sees it — objects, attributes, schema and naming contexts, without guesswork.

Audit permissions

Trace ACLs and inherited rights to find over-privileged accounts and shadow admin paths before an attacker does.

Diff snapshots

Capture offline snapshots and compare them to prove what changed, when, and by whom during change windows.

Respond faster

Incident playbooks that turn a live directory into evidence in minutes instead of a weekend of scripting.

Taught against real forests

Every module runs in a lab forest built to look like yours: nested OUs, legacy delegation, service accounts nobody remembers creating. You leave with the snapshots, queries and checklists you used in class.
