start-ad-assessment

Description

Initiates a directory assessment to validate your self-managed AD environment for hybrid domain join. The assessment checks compatibility and connectivity of the self-managed AD environment.

A directory assessment is automatically created when you create a hybrid directory. There are two types of assessments: CUSTOMER and SYSTEM . Your Amazon Web Services account has a limit of 100 CUSTOMER directory assessments.

The assessment process typically takes 30 minutes or more to complete. The assessment process is asynchronous and you can monitor it with DescribeADAssessment .

The InstanceIds must have a one-to-one correspondence with CustomerDnsIps , meaning that if the IP address for instance i-10243410 is 10.24.34.100 and the IP address for instance i-10243420 is 10.24.34.200, then the input arrays must maintain the same order relationship, either [10.24.34.100, 10.24.34.200] paired with [i-10243410, i-10243420] or [10.24.34.200, 10.24.34.100] paired with [i-10243420, i-10243410].

Note: You must provide exactly one DirectoryId or AssessmentConfiguration .

Options

--assessment-configuration (structure)

Configuration parameters for the directory assessment, including DNS server information, domain name, Amazon VPC subnet, and Amazon Web Services System Manager managed node details.

CustomerDnsIps -> (list)

A list of IP addresses for the DNS servers or domain controllers in your self-managed AD that are tested during the assessment.

(string)

DnsName -> (string)

The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the self-managed AD domain to assess.

VpcSettings -> (structure)

Contains VPC information for the CreateDirectory , CreateMicrosoftAD , or CreateHybridAD operation.

VpcId -> (string)

The identifier of the VPC in which to create the directory.

SubnetIds -> (list)

The identifiers of the subnets for the directory servers. The two subnets must be in different Availability Zones. Directory Service creates a directory server and a DNS server in each of these subnets.

(string)

InstanceIds -> (list)

The identifiers of the self-managed instances with SSM that are used to perform connectivity and validation tests.

(string)

SecurityGroupIds -> (list)

By default, the service attaches a security group to allow network access to the self-managed nodes in your Amazon VPC. You can optionally supply your own security group that allows network traffic to and from your self-managed domain controllers outside of your Amazon VPC.

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

CustomerDnsIps=string,string,DnsName=string,VpcSettings={VpcId=string,SubnetIds=[string,string]},InstanceIds=string,string,SecurityGroupIds=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "CustomerDnsIps": ["string", ...],
  "DnsName": "string",
  "VpcSettings": {
    "VpcId": "string",
    "SubnetIds": ["string", ...]
  },
  "InstanceIds": ["string", ...],
  "SecurityGroupIds": ["string", ...]
}

--directory-id (string)

The identifier of the directory for which to perform the assessment. This should be an existing directory. If the assessment is not for an existing directory, this parameter should be omitted.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

AssessmentId -> (string)

The unique identifier of the newly started directory assessment. Use this identifier to monitor assessment progress and retrieve results.
