Active Directory reporting

User reports: Get complete details on all users, including reports on inactive, locked-out, disabled, or account expired users.
Password reports: Generate reports on recent password failures, password expired users, soon-to-expire users, and never-expire users.
Group reports: View security and distribution groups, along with their memberships, and ownership details.
Computer reports: Track inactive, disabled, or recently created computer accounts in your AD domain.
Logon activity reports: Monitor logon details and last logon times of users
Permission reports: Analyze NTFS and shared folder permissions to detect excessive or unauthorized access.

Export and schedule: Schedule reports and export them in CSV, PDF, XLSX, or HTML formats.

Automation and workflows

Password reset automation: Automatically reset expired user passwords or notify admins about upcoming password expirations.
Stale account cleanup: Detect and disable inactive, unused, or orphaned accounts on a schedule.
Group membership automation: Assign or revoke group memberships dynamically based on roles or rules.
Approval-based workflows: Implement multi-level approval workflows for critical AD tasks before execution.
Automated reports: Schedule and deliver AD reports automatically to stakeholders' inboxes.

Active Directory delegation

Role-based access control: Delegate tasks using predefined roles, ensuring technicians can only perform what their role permits.
OU and group-based delegation: Limit delegation to specific OUs or groups, giving granular control over who manages which AD resources.
Non-invasive delegation: Grant delegated access without elevating native AD permissions or ACLs, keeping your AD structure clean and intact.
Technician audit trail: Track and review every action performed by delegated users for accountability and compliance.
Enforce least privilege: Ensure users and technicians only have the exact rights they need—nothing more.

Active Directory integrations

HCM integration: Automatically sync user data from HCM systems like ADP, UKG Pro, BambooHR, and more to streamline onboarding and offboarding.
ITSM integration: Connect with helpdesk software like ServiceNow, Zendesk, Jira, and more to trigger AD tasks directly from IT tickets and automate workflow processes.
SIEM integration: Forward AD logs and activities to SIEM tools for centralized monitoring, threat detection, and compliance reporting.
Database integration: Retrieve or update user and group information from databases like Microsoft SQL, Oracle, Azure SQL, and more to ensure AD reflects accurate organizational data.
Custom application integration: Extend ADManager Plus' capabilities by integrating with custom applications and third-party platforms via robust APIs.

Active Directory migration

Cross-domain migration: Seamlessly move AD users, groups, computers, contacts, and GPOs across domains within the same forest or different forests.
Conflict handling: Automatically detect and resolve naming conflicts during migration using predefined rules.
OU hierarchy: Maintain the original OU structure when migrating objects across domains or forests.
Password migration: Securely transfer user passwords during migration to prevent disruption and enforce continuity.

Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC)

Access reviews: Periodically review and certify users' access rights, group memberships, and permissions to ensure they have the right access to the right resources.
Risk assessment: Identify and evaluate security risks across users, groups, and other AD objects to strengthen your AD posture.
Risk exposure management: Visualize attack paths, understand object relationships, identify over-privileged accounts, and proactively mitigate security vulnerabilities.
Compliance-ready reporting: Generate reports aligned with SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, and other regulatory frameworks for swift audits.

What our customers say

At first, anytime you get to new software, you get a little intimidated. But actually, I was very shocked at the ease of use. Everything was very self-explanatory.

Jason Steve,

System administrator
I am able to automate those tasks and ADManager Plus has made my life easier. Specifically, we use ADManager Plus to manage unused accounts and systematically disable them, so we don't have any dormant or inactive accounts.

Daniel Lahrman,

IT infrastructure analyst
ADManager Plus has the potential to automate our process." "The product (ADManager Plus) is cost effective.

Jerry Kolb, Manager,

System and Operations
The automation feature is incredibly convenient. It helps us add and remove users to appropriate groups and update information

IT admin
ADManager Plus has given [us] the ability to ensure that accounts are being put into the proper OUs and that they're being added to groups. It's really made the experience for our technicians even easier.

Identity services engineer
I showed (ADManager Plus') dashboards and the reports and everyone was like, 'Oh, this looks quite handy. Maybe we can get in that.'

We had over a thousand users in the Active Directory system, and we only had 300 employees. Now, we’ve got that down to under 500.

Group head
Using AD360, we have been able to move AD management out of the servers into a more controlled environment where we can control what tasks technicians can perform

We find the reporting to be quite good—It enables us to generate reports on settings of users or people with expired passwords, etc.

Senior IT manager
I love the built-in reporting. Being able to look at both user reports and group reports has saved me a lot of time.

Overall, the process has been very smooth, and whenever we faced issues, the support team was fast and prompt.
