The script has been tested thoroughly, but it is recommended that prior to deploying in a production environment a few tests runs be performed in a lab environment.

At the very least, Set-ExecutionPolicy -executionPolicy Unrestricted will have to be run, as the code is not signed. This script must also be run on a Active Direction Domain Controller to ensure all the proper PowerShell pieces are in place.
