Active Directory Toolkit

Parse LDAP filters, decode Security Identifiers, calculate Group Policy precedence, analyze group nesting, and work out Kerberos ticket lifetimes — five tools covering the parts of AD administration that are easiest to get subtly wrong. All run entirely in your browser.

How these fit together

LDAP Filter Parser & Validator breaks down a search filter's AND/OR/NOT structure, substrings, and extensible matches into plain English before you run it against a real directory. SID Decoder decodes a Security Identifier into its revision, authority, and sub-authorities, and recognizes well-known SIDs and RIDs like Domain Admins. Working out which of several linked Group Policy Objects actually wins a setting conflict? GPO Precedence Calculator accounts for LSDOU order, Block Inheritance, and Enforced links. AD Security Group Nesting Analyzer detects circular group membership and flattens a user's effective membership through nested groups, flagging Kerberos token-bloat risk along the way. And Kerberos Ticket Lifetime Calculator works out a ticket's expiry and renewal window from your domain's Kerberos Policy settings.
