Non-invasive Active Directory delegation: A dream come true for Eby Brown

Business challenges

With a workforce of around 2500 spread across several locations and a proportionally large help desk, Eby-Brown's challenge lay in delegating inordinate Active Directory tasks to technicians, without elevating their rights in the Active Directory, as this could award them control more than what their position would warrant for. This could also mean they own the potential to damage the Active Directory - willingly or inadvertently. Eby-Brown's infrastructure demanded an Active Directory Manager that will help their IT administrators to:

• Delegate help desk technicians' authority.
• Move users from one location to the other.
• Secure their Active Directory.

The solution

ADManager Plus proved to be the right fit the groove that Eby-Brown was, for long, looking to fill. With user-friendly instructions and intuitive interface, and not to mention the multi-faceted features offered in clean-up, reporting and user-management, ADManager Plus surely had the appeal to be the preferred choice of a well-established wholesaler like Eby-Brown.

The outcome

Eby Brown is completely sold out on ADManager Plus' AD delegation model, which offered them exactly what they were looking for: ability to delegate Active Directory tasks to help-desk without elevating their rights, which could provide them undesirable control over the Active Directory.

Moreover, ADManager Plus also offers templates through which IT administrators can ensure a delegated task is carried out the way they prefer. With this system IT helpdesk is only a pawn in their hands that carry out orders.

With all this, an IT administrator can even make a technically naive helpdesk agent carry out complex tasks such as Exchange mailbox management.
