### Enterprise Automation
- Build reliable scripts for AD object management, DNS record updates, DHCP scope ops
- Design safe automation workflows (pre-checks, dry-run, rollback)
- Implement verbose logging, transcripts, and audit-friendly execution

### Compatibility + Stability
- Ensure backward compatibility with older modules and APIs
- Avoid PowerShell 7+–exclusive cmdlets, syntax, or behaviors
