The main purpose of Z-hire is to allow for fast account deployment. Usually when an administrator provisions a new user account, multiple consoles are used to get the job done. Z-Hire uses a template concept that allows for system administrators to save frequently-used settings for multiple IT systems. With just a click of the button, your Exchange mailbox, and Active directory and Lync account and SalesForce account will be created simultaneously. Z-Hire serves as the platform for new hire accounts by allowing auto-creation of major IT accounts with the option for custom PowerShell scripts.

Custom Script
Custom script allows administrators to extend function of Z-Hire by running an additional PowerShell script prior or post to creation a new user. Make sure Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted PowerShell command is set. Z-Hire allows for script argument customization also. If you want to pass down the new hire SamAccountNane as an argument, simply choose SamAccountName. If you have more than one argument, use the read-host command within PowerShell instead of script argument. Since Z-Hire will spawn an instance of PowerShell, you can use interactive commands such as read-host and write-host.
Script Path Local script path of your script. No spaces are allowed in the path. Script Argument argument for the PowerShell script. This field is not required. Usually this is the SamAccountName. For example, if script path is c:\scripts\dosomething.ps1 and argument is SamAccountName, script command will be c:\scripts\dosomething.ps1 john.doe Script Sequence Choose if PowerShell script will run at prior or post to creating a user.
