- The [DSInternals Framework](https://www.nuget.org/profiles/MichaelGrafnetter) exposes several internal features of Active Directory and can be used from any .NET application. The codebase has already been integrated into several 3rd party commercial products that use it in scenarios like Active Directory disaster recovery, identity management, cross-forest migrations and password strength auditing.
- The [DSInternals PowerShell Module](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/DSInternals/) provides easy-to-use cmdlets that are built on top of the Framework. The main features include offline [ntds.dit file](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961761.aspx) manipulation and querying domain controllers through the [Directory Replication Service (DRS) Remote Protocol](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc228086.aspx).
