Active Directory 2016 Time-Based Group Membership
Group membership control and management is one of the cornerstones of Active Directory Domain Services. In Windows Server 2016, Microsoft introduced a new feature to Active Directory that forms part of the Microsoft Privileged Access Management (PAM) strategy.
When used in conjunction with automation, this can be used to provide Just-In-Time (JIT) access to protected and administratively sensitive services. When used in an environment that is synchronised with Azure Active Directory using Azure AD Connect, this can be used to provide JIT for hybrid solutions in Microsoft Azure (when RBAC has been applied to Azure Resource Manager objects).
In this post, I will briefly explain the processing for implementing time-based group membership in Active Directory.
