A lot of what comes up as recurring admin tasks ends up on GitHub as a tool sooner or later. Instead of cryptic one-liners in the console, this gives rise to tools with a usable interface, German-language documentation and a transparent security policy.
The following projects all come from daily practice as a Microsoft 365 consultant and IT lead. They are mostly released under the MIT license, free to use and deployable in your own environments – and the PowerShell scripts are code-signed. They are all gathered in the GitHub organization PS-PhinIT.
PowerShell & Active Directory
The largest share of my tools covers classic Windows and AD administration – from onboarding new employees through groups and passwords to file permissions.
| Repository | Zweck |
| PhinIT.easyONBOARDING | Complete onboarding tool with a WPF interface: creates new users, manages AD groups and edits INI configurations in a single pass. Requires PowerShell 7 and administrator rights. |
| PhinIT.ADGroups | Creates Active Directory groups through a Windows 11-style interface – individually, as a number range or as a bulk import via CSV. With templates, live user search, validation, a dry-run mode and optional email notification. |
| PhinIT.ADPassword | GUI for resetting AD passwords for individual users, entire OUs or groups, with separate reports for users and administrators. |
| PhinIT.Folder | Two tools for NTFS permissions: a Manager for setting and selectively removing rights (with a restorable backup) and a Reader for recursive analysis with a tree view and HTML export. Beta: transfer to SharePoint Online. |
| PhinIT.ActiveDirectory | A collection of further PowerShell tools for managing Active Directory. Reading out BitLocker and LAPS values. |
| PhinIT.Tools | A workbench for mixed scripts and helpers – experimental, in development or too small for a repository of their own. |
| PhinIT.Audit-Reporting | This repository bundles audit and reporting tools to bring transparency to server landscapes, Active Directory structures and client configurations. |
Microsoft 365 & Exchange
For the cloud side there are two tools around Exchange Online.
| Repository | Zweck |
| PhinIT.M365_ExchangeOnlineGUI | Graphical management for Exchange Online: controls mailboxes and calendar permissions through an interface instead of command by command in the shell. |
| PhinIT.M365_EXO-ProxyMailAddresses | Simplifies the management of proxy and additional email addresses in Exchange Online. |
Ninja RMM & Windows diagnostics
Remote management has produced ready-to-use scripts for remote monitoring and everyday server work – tested, documented bilingually and designed for safe operation.
| Repository | Zweck |
| PhinIT.NinjaONE-Scripts | Over 160 Windows scripts for NinjaOne, sorted by topic (system, updates, software, certificates, DNS, BitLocker, security, network, users). The diagnostic scripts are read-only, change no settings, trigger no reboot, are tested with Pester and documented throughout in German and English. |
| PhinIT.PowerShell_DNS (Server Management Tool) | Windows DNS management with a modern WPF interface, including auditing functions and DNSSEC support. |
CMS & Web
Nicht alles ist PowerShell – die Grundlage von phinit.de selbst ist ein eigenes Content-Management-System.
| Repository | Zweck |
| 365CMS | Self-developed business CMS: secure, modular, extensible via plugins and themes, self-hosted and GDPR-compliant. The system that phinit.de runs on; complemented by its own theme and plugin repositories. 365CMS-Themes 365CMS-Plugins |
| WordPress-Plugins | A collection of in-house WordPress plugins for projects outside of our own CMS. |
