An interesting post around #ADCS #ActiveDirectory #CertificateServices validation and concerns around it https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-and-security/the-nightmare-of-validating-certificate-requests/ba-p/3743769

The Locksmith Active Directory (AD) Certificate Services (CS) remediation tool has been updated: https://github.com/TrimarcJake/Locksmith

New features:
- Support for Restricted Admin Mode. If RAM is detected, Locksmith will ask to be re-run using the -Credential switch.
- If the AD Powershell module is not installed on Win 10/11, Locksmith will attempt to install it for you.
Note: previously only available on server-class OSes.
- New functions for checking user type and elevation status.
- Auto-generated snippets for ownership issues (a subset of ESC4/ESC5).
- Support for non-English Active Directory evironments!

Next planned updates:
- Add individual CA Hosts to $SafeUsers using SIDs.
- Perform additional environment checks before attempting to run.
- Rename modes to something that makes sense.
