Automation in AD Bulk Users just took a major step forward
With Custom Actions, you can now build fully tailored automation workflows that match your environment exactly — using the power and flexibility of PowerShell.
Available as of January 12, 2026 (v6.0.0.7+), Custom Actions let you go far beyond standard user provisioning.
🧠 Automate the Entire User Lifecycle
Custom Actions allow you to execute custom PowerShell scripts at key stages of a user’s lifecycle in Active Directory, including:
-
Before or after a user is created
-
Before or after a user is updated
-
Before or after a user is deleted
This means your automation can run exactly when it’s needed, without manual intervention.
🛠 Unlimited Flexibility with PowerShell
Custom Actions are built on PowerShell, giving you full control over your automation logic.
Scripts can include wildcards, which are automatically replaced with user-specific data at runtime — making each execution dynamic and context-aware.

From integrating with third-party systems to enforcing internal standards, Custom Actions enable virtually any automation scenario — without additional development.
⚙️ Easy to Configure, Easy to Maintain
Custom Actions are managed from the Actions Configuration window, accessible directly from the main ribbon.
From there, you can:
-
Create new actions
-
Edit existing ones
-
Assign one or multiple execution triggers
Once saved, actions are executed automatically whenever their trigger conditions are met.
