#Requires -Version 5.1 <# .SYNOPSIS Pure ACL manipulation module for SID removal operations .DESCRIPTION Provides focused ACL manipulation functionality for removing SIDs from Active Directory security descriptors. This module implements the "tool" pattern with pure ACL processing logic, enabling independent testing without Active Directory dependencies. This module focuses solely on in-memory ACL manipulation, making it highly testable and reusable across different removal scenarios. .NOTES Author: Jeffrey Stuhr Blog: https://www.techbyjeff.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffrey-stuhr-034214aa/ Last Updated: 2025-01-27 Version: 1.0.0 PowerShell Version: 5.1+ (Windows), 7.x+ (Cross-platform) TROUBLESHOOTING: - For ACL manipulation errors: .\Troubleshooting\Common\ACL-Manipulation-Issues.md - For performance issues: .\Troubleshooting\Performance\ACL-Processing-Optimization.md DEPENDENCIES: - Requires Logging.ps1 for Write-StructuredLog function - System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurity for ACL objects #> function Invoke-SIDRemoval { <# .SYNOPSIS Performs pure ACL manipulation to remove specified SIDs .DESCRIPTION Processes Active Directory ACL objects to remove specified SIDs while maintaining ACL integrity and providing detailed operation tracking. This function implements focused ACL manipulation using the "tool" pattern: - Accepts ACL objects and SID lists as input - Performs in-memory ACL modifications - Returns structured results for further processing - No external dependencies on Active Directory connections The function supports both actual removal and preview (WhatIf) modes, making it suitable for validation and approval workflows. .PARAMETER ACL The Active Directory security descriptor object to modify. Must be a valid System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectorySecurity object. .PARAMETER AllowedSIDs Array of orphaned Security Identifiers that are approved for removal from the ACL. Only these SIDs will be processed for removal operations. .PARAMETER ObjectDN Distinguished name of the AD object for logging context. Used for correlation and audit trail purposes only. .PARAMETER WhatIfMode When specified, performs validation and shows what would be removed without making actual changes to the ACL object. .PARAMETER CorrelationId Unique identifier for tracking this removal operation across logs and audit trails. Generated automatically if not provided. .EXAMPLE PS> $result = Invoke-SIDRemoval -ACL $aclObject -AllowedSIDs @("S-1-5-21-1234567890-1001") DESCRIPTION: Removes a single SID from an ACL object OUTPUT: PSCustomObject with ModifiedACL, RemovedSIDs, and FailedSIDs USE CASE: Basic ACL manipulation for targeted SID removal .EXAMPLE PS> $result = Invoke-SIDRemoval -ACL $acl -AllowedSIDs $sids -WhatIfMode DESCRIPTION: Preview mode showing what would be removed without changes OUTPUT: Results showing planned operations without ACL modification USE CASE: Validation and approval workflows before actual removal .EXAMPLE PS> $removal = Invoke-SIDRemoval -ACL $acl -AllowedSIDs $approvedSIDs -ObjectDN $dn -CorrelationId $id Write-Output "Removed $($removal.RemovedSIDs.Count) SIDs successfully" DESCRIPTION: Full ACL processing with correlation tracking and result validation OUTPUT: Comprehensive removal results with audit trail USE CASE: Enterprise automation with full logging and tracking .OUTPUTS [PSCustomObject] Object containing: - ModifiedACL: The ACL object after SID removal operations - RemovedSIDs: Array of SIDs successfully removed from the ACL - FailedSIDs: Array of SIDs that failed removal with error details .NOTES PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS: - Processing Rate: 100-500 ACEs/second depending on ACL complexity - Memory Usage: Minimal - works with existing ACL objects in place - ACL Modification: Direct manipulation for optimal performance DESIGN PRINCIPLES: - Pure function with no external dependencies - Supports both actual and preview operations - Comprehensive error handling with detailed logging - Maintains ACL integrity throughout processing TROUBLESHOOTING: - For ACE removal failures: Check SID format and ACL structure - For performance issues: Consider ACL size and complexity - For logging problems: Verify correlation ID propagation #> [CmdletBinding()] [OutputType([PSCustomObject])] param( [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNull()] [PSObject]$ACL, [Parameter(Mandatory)] [ValidateNotNullOrEmpty()] [string[]]$AllowedSIDs, [Parameter()] [string]$ObjectDN, [Parameter()] [switch]$WhatIfMode, [Parameter()] [string]$CorrelationId = [System.Guid]::NewGuid().ToString() ) try { # Validate SID format for all provided SIDs foreach ($sid in $AllowedSIDs) { if ($sid -notmatch '^S-\d+-\d+(-\d+)*$') { throw "Invalid SID format: $sid.
