Active Directory Management

Manage Active Directory accounts, groups and permissions with consistent, traceable changes.

Overview

Inactive or duplicate accounts, accumulated group memberships and poorly understood delegated rights make it harder to establish what should remain in the directory. Growth, a clean-up, restructuring or recurring account changes can make manual administration difficult to sustain. Shared admin accounts and informal changes can also leave little clarity over how directory configuration has changed.

Active Directory Management brings accounts, groups, computers, organisational units, permissions and delegation into consistent administration. It helps maintain an understandable directory structure, identify inactive and unnecessary objects for action, and keep configuration consistent. This reduces repetitive account and group work, overly broad permissions and ad hoc delegation while retaining focus on the Active Directory environment.
