All Users
This report provides the details of all the users of the selected domain(s). For the domains to be listed here, you should have added all the domains in the Directory/Application Settings page.

Generating Active Directory Report via CSV Import
Using this report you can fetch all the details of the desired users , groups and computer objects from Active Directory. While the regular Active Directory reports fetch the objects that meet a specific criteria (e.g., inactive, locked out, recently modified), this all-in-one report fetches every single detail of those objects that you specify.
To generate this report, list the attributes of the AD objects whose details you wish to fetch in a CSV file and import it into ADManager Plus. The tool will then fetch and display all the details of the objects mentioned in the CSV file. You can also customize the report to view only the desired details and fields.
Steps to generate this report
- Click the Reports tab.
- Navigate to User Reports > CSV Import > Report from CSV.
- In the Report from CSV page, select the domain in which the desired objects are located.
- Click Browse to select the CSV file. The tool will automatically fetch the details of the relevant objects based on the attributes mentioned in the CSV file. See a sample CSV file here.
Note:
- The name of the file that you select will be displayed as a link beside the Browse button. Click this link (CSV file name) if you wish to view the data that has been imported from the selected file.
- If there is any error in the CSV file, ADManager Plus will display an appropriate error message.
- If you wish to refine the selection of objects further, click the Criteria link that is displayed beside the CSV file name. The criteria window will now open.
- For each object type (users, groups, computers), select the criteria based on which you wish to locate the desired objects in the Active Directory. For example, if you wish to fetch the details of all the users in a specific department:
- Click the Users tab in the criteria window.
- Select the Fetch details of user objects check box
- Click Equals, select the department check box and close the window.
- Click Generate.
