New-ADCentralAccessRule: create adcentral access rule with rollback checks

Treat this document as a focused evidence review: New-ADCentralAccessRule: create adcentral access rule with rollback checks. Only the official source and traced locations below supply facts. Confirm applicability before acting.

Source fact:

The official New-ADCentralAccessRule from Microsoft supports the following bounded statements:

• At DESCRIPTION, Microsoft states: “The New-ADCentralAccessRule cmdlet creates a central access rule in Active Directory.” The research record locates this support at DESCRIPTION.
• At Example 1: Create a new named central access rule, Microsoft states: “This command creates a new central access rule named Finance Documents Rule.” The research record locates this support at Example 1: Create a new named central access rule.

Do not import neighboring assumptions into the source record. The supported task is a scoped comparison involving Active Directory objects, search bases, domain controllers, delegated roles, cmdlet parameters, and the DNS paths used to locate directory services and the conditions the source actually describes.

What the source does not establish

The cited page and retained statements do not establish the current state of any DSE or customer environment, prove that the documented configuration is applicable, or authorize a production change. Confirm supported versions, dependencies, and the current live source before use. The citation is not a substitute for observed state, authorization, compliance evidence, or dependency health. Examine Active Directory replication, Windows DNS, domain-controller location, time, network reachability, privileges, and protected credentials before translating the source into an operational decision.

Applicability questions

• For source statement 1 at DESCRIPTION, which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?
• For source statement 2 at Example 1: Create a new named central access rule, which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?
• What inventory proves which parts of Active Directory objects, search bases, domain controllers, delegated roles, cmdlet parameters, and the DNS paths used to locate directory services are in and out of scope?
• Which condition in Active Directory replication, Windows DNS, domain-controller location, time, network reachability, privileges, and protected credentials must be healthy before evidence is trustworthy?
• What result would disprove the working assumption and return the issue to the owner?

DSE recommendation:

DSE recommends using the cited source as the evidence anchor for this decision. Use a two-person review for the source interpretation and the resulting operational decision. Record the source location, examined part of Active Directory objects, search bases, domain controllers, delegated roles, cmdlet parameters, and the DNS paths used to locate directory services, observed and expected states, owner, and reason for deviation.

Do not move from citation to production in one step. Pilot the decision where practical, observe agreed signals, retain a reversal point, and verify Active Directory replication, Windows DNS, domain-controller location, time, network reachability, privileges, and protected credentials. Handle credentials, keys, recovery data, and personal information through approved secure channels.

Verification and evidence

Evidence should let another reviewer reproduce this decision. Retain observations beside the traced locations DESCRIPTION; Example 1: Create a new named central access rule. Favor sanitized command transcripts, parameter records, directory exports, authorization records, DNS locator tests, and before-and-after state, linked to stable identifiers, time, and operator.

Label this evidence set DSE-20260827-197 so observations, approvals, exceptions, and later rechecks cannot be substituted from another source review.

Close the review only when the evidence, exception handling, resulting action, and after-state are linked. Schedule a new review after material technical, organizational, incident, or source changes; today’s observation is not a continuing guarantee.
