Active Directory Bulk User Modification

Managing the user accounts in Microsoft Active Directory is an arduous challenge that every IT administrator faces every day. Manually configuring and modifying the user properties using the native tools, PowerShell scripts, etc. is extremely time consuming, tiresome, and error prone, particularly in a large, complex windows network. Moreover, it requires an in-depth knowledge about the Active Directory to accomplish these tasks. In such scenarios, administrators find it extremely taxing to free themselves from simple, frequently occurring tasks like reset passwords, unlock account, etc. to focus on the more crucial and mission critical tasks.

ADManager Plus is a web-based Active Directory Management and Reporting software that allows mass modification of user attributes, including the Exchange, Remote user logon, Terminal Services and Lync Server/LCS/OCS attributes. Common modifications, such as resetting passwords for multiple accounts, changing the display name, creating mailboxes in Exchange, enable/disable/delete inactive accounts, moving users between OU's, and other Active Directory management function can be done quickly and consistently, for any specific container(s) like an OU or domain from a single console by the administrators or the help desk technicians to whom the role has been delegated. Using this Active Directory tool's reactive user account management feature, you can even automatically update certain attributes of user accounts based on the changes that are being made to the user accounts.
