Install only packs from sources you trust. This pack is made by DevClate, not by Maester. The site only indexes and scans it: Install-MtPack downloads it straight from github.com/DevClate/maester-pack-adua.

MP.CLT.ADUA.1017 Active Directory company names are on the approved list.

Severity: LowCLT.ADUA.Ldap

Checks that every company name (company) set on enabled Active Directory users is one of your approved values. Blank values are not checked here (the presence tests check those).

Company name separates legal entities and contractors in groups and reports. A value typed slightly differently puts the user outside every group, rule and report built on the approved spelling.

The approved values come from company in CLT.ADUA.AllowedValues under GlobalSettings in maester-config.json, from the file named in CLT.ADUA.AllowedValuesFile, or from this test's own AllowedValues, which replaces the shared list for this test only. When neither CLT.ADUA setting is set, the User Attributes pack's CLT.UA.AllowedValues is used, so one list can serve both packs. Until any are set, this test lists the values it finds and asks you to review them (Investigate) instead of failing.

Remediation action

  1. Review the values listed below and decide which are correct.

  2. Add the approved values to maester-config.json:

    { "GlobalSettings": { "CLT.ADUA.AllowedValues": { "company": ["Contoso Ltd", "Contoso Canada"] } } }

  3. Change the users with a value that is not approved, in Active Directory Users and Computers (the user > Organization > Company) or with PowerShell: Set-ADUser -Identity <sAMAccountName> -Company 'Contoso Ltd'.

  4. If the value comes from an HR system or a provisioning tool, fix it there, or the next import overwrites your change.

  5. If a value is correct but not listed, add it to the approved values rather than changing the user.
