IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We are using ManageEngine AD Manager Plus to automate the AD related tasks and to generate reported related to the Active Directory. We are creating users in just a few click rather than following a lot of steps in active directory and without log in to the active directory server. With this tool, we are modifying user properties in very simple steps. With this tool, you can generate different type of password reports, user reports and different account reports. You can set up notification for password expiry and this tool will send automatic email before the password expire. With this tool, we can see the enabled and disabled accounts, steal accounts and accounts that has been disabled in organization but we can still see their account information here. We can manage groups and mailbox as well in this tool. So, basically it is saving our lot of time and resources and making life easy for admin team.
Pros
- It is very good in the bulk user creation. With this tool, we can create a number of users in just a few minutes rather than following a long old process.
- It is good for bulk user account modification. You can select a lot of users and make changes as per the requirements.
- ManageEngine ADManager Plus is helping us a lot in the report generation of user accounts, passwords, groups, and other reports that are helping us a lot.
- This tool also helps us with mailbox creation and shared mailbox creation
Cons
- They need to improve their report in terms of modification, like you will not get a lot of customization options in the report.
- In the password report if you are applying filter in Days since password last set and selecting the password change date from day 0 and again you want to select the Account status as Enable then you cannot do this.
- If you have more than 1 domain and you are trying to modify users in both domains in a single attempt, you cannot do this.
Likelihood to Recommend
ManageEngine ADManager Plus is doing good in lot of areas and making things easy for admins that take care of Ad related works. It is helping us to create users in bulk rather than following one by one step in active directory. Apart from the user creation, we can modify users in bulk without going to one by one in their profile. We can manage user account from here like account update, some modification, password related issues, and mailbox update. This tool is good but it has some drawbacks like we have 2 domains in our company but we cannot edit or modify users for both domains in a single attempt. We cannot change in password settings for both domains in single selection.
