Install steps
- Double-click ADProToolkit.msi to start the installer.
- On the welcome screen, click Next.
- Accept the End User License Agreement and click Next.
- Choose the install folder and click Next. Leave the default unless you have a reason not to:
C:\Program Files\ActiveDirectoryPro\AD Pro Toolkit - Click Install. Windows User Account Control may prompt for elevation. Click Yes. The installer is digitally signed, so it shows a verified publisher.
- When it finishes, click Finish. A shortcut is added to your desktop.
Silent install
To push the toolkit out to several machines with your existing deployment tooling, run the MSI unattended:
msiexec /i c:\path\to\ADProToolkit.msi /quiet /qn
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install it on a domain controller?
No. Install it on any domain-joined workstation or server. It connects to Active Directory using your existing credentials.
Does it need SQL Server, IIS or an agent?
No. There is no database to stand up, no web server to configure, and no agents to deploy on the machines you manage.
Can I deploy it to several machines at once?
Yes. Use the silent install command above with whatever you already use to deploy software.
Why does Windows prompt me during the install?
That is User Account Control asking for elevation, which any MSI writing to Program Files will trigger. The installer is digitally signed and shows as a verified publisher.
Where does it install by default?
C:\Program Files\ActiveDirectoryPro\AD Pro Toolkit. You can change the path during setup.
