AD Management Software

[TB Rich]

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here uses and can recommend an AD suite?

ManageEngine ADManager looks pretty slick and lots of reporting options, NetIQ's product looks good tho and its change management feature of gpo approval etc is very ITIL which is our companys latest buzz!!

Cheers,
Rich.

Just putting in NetIQ GPA, very good indeed. We will have 5 forests and many domains managed by it, sales and support people so far have been excellent.

Also use Quest product (formerly Alita Recovery Manager) to back up and restore individual objects in AD.

I use OpenAds www.openads.org/

Very good software, and free. It supports multiple clients and publishers. Delivers in more formats than you can throw a stick at too!

It even delivers my google ads to different domains. And it even tracks google clicks!

I'm using it on www.hunnybeez.co.uk

AD = active directory, not adverts in this case.

Are you guys talking Active Directory or adverts?!

[timsta]

Sorry, my bad!

[TB Rich]

Talking Active Directory here

Cheers Nathan, think I'll try NetIQ on a trial then. Certainly looks good.

Btw nice list of cars, the CSL is Über!

We've just used Quest's ARS to migrate and manage about 250,000 users from NT to XP/AD in 35-odd countries. Everyone seems to think it's a pretty good bit of software.
