Lepide Active Directory Management and Reporting is a brilliant AD management tool that comes with built-in system tools to manage Active Directory objects. This software is designed to provide a centralized platform from where all the objects and their attributes can be viewed, modified and managed. With this software, administrators can easily manage network domains, organizational units, groups, uses, schema, GPOs, etc. This stand alone utility helps in managing AD objects both on local and remote domain. The need of Active Directory Administrator Tools and Microsoft Management Console snap-ins is also reduced with the use of this AD management software. The AD management wizard helps in creating new user objects, group objects and OUs, and to move these objects between domains. Changes in the organization can be easily incorporated into the internal structure of the Active Directory using this utility. The modifications and updates can be performed from a central unit without any scripting tools or command line utilities. The main functionalities of this AD management tool are user management, group management, OU management, server management, DFS management, GPO management and AD reporting. Tasks such as creating new user objects, moving users or computers under one domain, enabling group policies for group objects, configuring the logon hours on computers with multiple user accounts, enabling/ disabling mailbox accounts on Exchange Server, transferring users from one OU container to another, managing CPU job schedules, configuring user password policies, etc. can be performed with ease. In addition to all these tasks, this AD management tool helps in filtering out objects by executing Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) queries. Furthermore query based Active Directory report generation is another important feature of this software that helps administrators in gaining information about AD objects and resources and save them for archiving.
