title: Provisioning Change Log — 2026 type: notes tags: [provisioning, change-log, powershell]

This change log records reviewed changes to the provisioning automation used in lab and test contexts. Entries include scope, author, validation approach, evidence required, and rollback guidance.

2026-04-12 — Draft v1.0

  • Author: Jeremy Fontenot
  • Objective: Build a repeatable user provisioning workflow that can be reviewed before execution.
  • Technical areas: PowerShell, Windows administration, Active Directory-style OU planning, group assignment, logging, dry-run review, and rollback preparation.
  • Changes: Added parameterization for OU placement, group assignment, and license SKU mapping. Introduced idempotent checks for existing accounts.
  • Validation approach: Run in dry-run mode first, review proposed changes, create sanitized lab test accounts only when authorized, verify expected group membership, and capture logs without secrets.
  • Rollback: Remove lab-created test accounts only after confirming scope, then restore previous group membership from the exported CSV if a change was applied.

2026-05-02 — Patch v1.1

  • Author: Jeremy Fontenot
  • Objective: Harden script logging and error handling before broader reuse.
  • Technical areas: PowerShell error handling, structured logs, exit codes, safe-mode execution, and change review.
  • Changes: Added structured log output, exit codes, and safe-mode dry-run flag for review before changes.
  • Validation approach: Run dry-run against a lab OU, inspect structured logs, verify that no unexpected write actions occur in safe mode, and record reviewer notes before any controlled execution.
  • Rollback: No stateful database changes are assumed. If lab accounts or groups are changed during controlled execution, reverse only the recorded objects and preserve the rollback log.

Notes

  • Execute only from an authorized lab administration context.
  • Store sanitized logs with the run date and remove private identifiers before public portfolio use.
  • Do not represent a dry-run, planned run, or script artifact as a completed live onboarding workflow.
