SHORT DESCRIPTION
    The Open AD module is a cross platform module for managing Active Directory.
 
LONG DESCRIPTION
    This module is a module designed to replicate the functionality in the
    Windows
    ActiveDirectory
    . It does not rely on any native libraries to communicate to the LDAP server
    allowing it to work across the various OS platforms that PowerShell can run
    as. Currently the module is limited to just getting data from an LDAP/AD
    environment but the goal is to eventually add in more features over time.
    A list of the cmdlets in this module can be found at
    PSOpenAD
    .
