Boualem Belbessai developed automation and management tooling for the CollegeBoreal/INF1084-202-25A-04 repository, focusing on Active Directory administration, onboarding workflows, and cross-domain trust configuration. Over four months, he delivered PowerShell-based scripts for user provisioning, group management, and network drive mapping, integrating CSV handling for scalable data import and export. His work included detailed documentation in Markdown, repository organization, and version control practices to ensure maintainability and traceability. By automating VM setup, AD DS deployment, and GPO-driven access controls, Boualem reduced manual effort and standardized operational processes, demonstrating depth in PowerShell scripting, system administration, and Active Directory management.

Month: 2025-12 — Delivered automation for student onboarding and network drive provisioning, established cross-domain AD forest trust, and improved repository maintainability. Key features include: PowerShell-based provisioning for student accounts, groups, configure RDP access, and GPO-driven drive mapping; Active Directory script improvements and repository housekeeping (including clearer naming and .gitkeep); and a bidirectional cross-domain trust enabling cross-forest authentication and resource sharing. Major bugs fixed included rectifications of user-management scripts and improvements in script clarity and reliability. Impact: reduced onboarding time, standardized access controls, and smoother cross-domain collaboration, with improvements in reliability and maintainability. Technologies/skills demonstrated: PowerShell automation, Active Directory administration, GPO automation, cross-forest trust configuration, and version-control hygiene.
