High-Value Starting Points

Workflow	Start with	Why it matters
Directory inventory	`Get-ADXComputer` , `Get-ADXUser` , `Get-ADXGroup`	Baseline the objects TestimoX rules later reason about
Group Policy analysis	`Get-ADXGpo` , `Get-ADXGpoInventory` , `Get-ADXGpoPolicyValues`	Investigate linked policy state, policy values, and drift
Replication and topology	`Get-ADXReplicationStatus` , `Get-ADXSites` , `Get-ADXSiteCoverage`	Find health problems before they become assessment noise
ACL and ownership	`Get-ADXAcl` , `Get-ADXAclOwner` , `Restore-ADXAclDefault`	Review or repair directory security descriptors
DNS and logs	`Get-ADXDnsScavenging` , `Get-ADXDnsLogFile` , `Watch-ADXDnsLog`	Validate cleanup posture and inspect operational logs
Trusts and identity	`Get-ADXTrust` , `Get-ADXSidHistory` , `Convert-ADXIdentity`	Investigate boundary and identity translation issues

Work Safely with Write-Capable Surfaces

ADPlayground includes both read-oriented and mutating cmdlets. When you move from inspection into repair:

Start with the Get-ADX* variant or preview path first.
Prefer -WhatIf and -Confirm on write-capable commands where available.
For lingering-object cleanup, detect first with Get-ADXLingeringObject , then preview cleanup before removal.

Get-ADXLingeringObject -Domain "corp.contoso.com" |
    Remove-ADXLingeringObject -WhatIf

Use the Generated API for Full Coverage
