Business challenges

  • Managing 5,000+ AD accounts: With a complex AD heirarchy of over 5,000 user accounts, the organization struggled with gaining a complete overview of their IT environment.
  • Inactive account cleanup: The IT team of DHSV lacked efficient provisions to identitfy and delete inactive users, which pose a major threat to their organizational security posture.

The problem

Before implementing ADManager Plus, DHSV's IT team had difficulty tracking and managing inactive user accounts into their complex AD environment.

"With around 5,000 AD users, it was a big challenge to maintain accounts. Sometimes, we weren't notified when a user left, and inactive accounts stayed for a long time, creating a security risk."

Mohammad Shakhawat Hossain, Systems Engineer, Dental Health Services Victoria

The manual process of identifying and deprovisioning inactive accounts proved to be inefficient. The organization required an IGA solution that delivers an automated approach todeprovision dormant accounts while ensure a centralized pane of glass into the AD activity.

The solution

With the deployment of ManageEngine ADManager Plus, DHSV significantly improved its AD management processes, particularly in user account tracking and automation. ADManager Plus' ability to report on inactive users and subsequently perform on-the-fly automation capabilities—such as deletion, moving from one OU to another and so on—proved to be an invaluable asset for DHSV's IT operations.

"ADManager Plus makes managing Active Directory user accounts very easy. The reporting functions and automation for inactive account decommissioning are the most useful tools for us."

Mohammad Shakhawat Hossain, Systems Engineer, Dental Health Services Victoria

The reporting features of ADManager Plus aided in monitoring inactive and disabled user accounts, providing greater visibility and control. Furthermore, ADManager Plus' orchestration templates automated bulk user creation and modification, streamlining account management across the organization.

DHSV's IT team found ManageEngine's support team to be highly responsive and efficient during their touchpoints.

"We've contacted support on multiple occasions, and we always received timely assistance. ADManager Plus is an awesome solution for AD management."

Mohammad Shakhawat Hossain, Systems Engineer, Dental Health Services Victoria

With a 10/10 rating for overall experience and a 10/10 recommendation score, DHSV highly recommends ADManager Plus as a powerful and effective AD management tool.

"ADManager Plus is an awesome solution for AD management."
