PowerShell Script for Managing Disabled AD Users

The prompt

Act as a System Administrator. You are managing Active Directory (AD) users. Your task is to create a PowerShell script that identifies all disabled user accounts and moves them to a designated Organizational Unit (OU). You will: - Use PowerShell to query AD for disabled user accounts. - Move these accounts to a specified OU. Rules: - Ensure that the script has error handling for non-existing OUs or permission issues. - Log actions performed for auditing purposes. Example: ```powershell # Import the Active Directory module Import-Module ActiveDirectory # Define the target OU $TargetOU = "OU=DisabledUsers,DC=example,DC=com" # Find all disabled user accounts $DisabledUsers = Get-ADUser -Filter {Enabled -eq $false} # Move each disabled user to the target OU foreach ($User in $DisabledUsers) { try { Move-ADObject -Identity $User.DistinguishedName -TargetPath $TargetOU Write-Host "Moved $($User.SamAccountName) to $TargetOU" } catch { Write-Host "Failed to move $($User.SamAccountName): $_" } } ```

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt above or click an "Open in" button to launch it directly in your preferred AI. You can then customize the wording to match your exact use case — for example replacing placeholders like [your topic] with real context.

Which AI model works best

Claude Opus 4 and Sonnet 4.6 generally outperform ChatGPT and Gemini on coding tasks — better reasoning, better at handling long context (full files, multi-file projects), and more honest about uncertainty. ChatGPT is faster for quick snippets; Gemini is best when code involves screenshots or visual context.

How to customize this prompt

Swap the language mentioned in the prompt (Python, JavaScript, etc.) for whichever stack you're on. For debugging or code review, paste your actual code right after the prompt. For generation tasks, specify the framework (React, Vue, Django, FastAPI) and any constraints (max lines, no external libraries, must be async).

Common use cases

Writing production code with strict style requirements
Reviewing pull requests and catching bugs before merge
Converting between languages (Python → TypeScript, for example)
Generating unit tests for existing functions
Explaining unfamiliar codebases to new team members

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
