Okay, so today I messed around with something called “adctier list”. I honestly didn’t know much about it before, but I figured, why not give it a shot? I like trying new stuff, and this seemed like it might be useful.
Getting Started
First, I had to figure out what it even was. It sounds kinda techy, right? Turns out, it’s related to Active Directory – you know, that thing that manages users and computers in a Windows network. Apparently, “adctier list” helps organize things within Active Directory, like grouping similar objects together. Cool, I guess?

My Little Experiment
I don’t have a huge corporate network to play with, but I do have a few computers at home. I figured I could create a basic Active Directory setup and then try to use this “adctier list” thing.
So, I fired up one of my old machines and installed Windows Server. Took a bit, but no biggie. Then I went through the steps to set up Active Directory. Seemed straightforward enough, thanks to some online guides. Got myself a domain – let’s call it “*” – just for kicks.
Now for the “adctier list” part. I started by creating a few users and computers, just to have something to work with. Nothing fancy, just “User1”, “User2”, “Computer1”, and so on. Pretty original, I know.
Putting Things in Order
Next, I wanted to see how this tiering thing worked. I imagined sorting things by, like, importance or function. So I created a couple of organizational units (OUs) – basically folders within Active Directory. I called one “ImportantStuff” and the other “LessImportantStuff”. Very creative, right?
Then I used some Powershell command and moved some of my users and computers into the “ImportantStuff” OU, and the rest into “LessImportantStuff”. I felt like a super-organized system administrator!
Did It Work?
Well, yeah, it kinda did. I mean, I could see the objects in their respective OUs. So, in a very basic way, I managed to create a tiered structure. Whether this is how a real “adctier list” works in a professional setting, I’m not 100% sure. But hey, I learned something, and that’s what matters, right?
Wrapping Up
So, that was my little adventure with “adctier list”. It wasn’t super exciting, but it was a good way to get my hands dirty with Active Directory and learn a new concept. Maybe someday I’ll have a bigger network to play with and really put this stuff to the test. Until then, I’ll just keep experimenting and sharing my experiences!
