Creating, modifying, and removing objects in AD

Creating, modifying, and removing objects are the most commonly performed management tasks in an AD environment. Using the different tools and methods described in the previous section, we can perform these tasks. Each tool and method has its own pros and cons. By comparing GUI capabilities, the complexity of performing an administrative task, and the time it takes to execute a task, you can choose the tool that is best for you. My recommendation is to use a mix of tools as not every tool is good for every administrative task.
