Pull request overview
Note
Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.
Adds initial Active Directory integration support to Maester by introducing new AD-focused test cmdlets (GPO/DNS/DC/PKI/DACL/etc.), wiring AD connectivity into session connect/disconnect flows, and providing associated documentation plus example validation outputs.
Changes:
- Introduces numerous new AD test cmdlets and accompanying docs under
powershell/public/ad/**. - Extends
Connect-Maester/Disconnect-Maesterto support anActiveDirectoryservice and clears AD session/cache state on disconnect. - Adds build/validation helper artifacts for AD phases (example CSV results and validation scripts).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Okay so i was really curious on how these AD tests would be executed in a general CICD pipeline sense.
I am not really sure how this would work as i am not sure how it would get a connection to AD and other infrastructure tests included in this PR.
I was thinking that maybe it would utilize Azure arc or Azure automation with a hybrid worker or some other way? Not sure what the thoughts was on this?
On another note (I have only looked in the most recent html report within build/activeDirectory) i saw a few of the tests had tables that were malformed so it was not displayed correctly.
And also a few tests without any test description.

The easiest way would be running through a self-hosted runner, which most platforms support, and that was what the community seemed to lean toward as well. Though other possible methods do exist too, container, wireguard, etc...

This is a good call out I missed. Looks like there is some issue with escaping the table new line given the random n char.
Converted inline PowerShell escape sequences to proper string concatenation format in 269 AD test files. This fixes the issue where table newlines were being rendered as literal 'n' characters in JSON test results, breaking table formatting for tests like AD-DACL-13, AD-DACL-14, and AD-DACL-16. Also removed obsolete test files from tests/Maester/ad/ directory.
