With more flexability than other Active Directory reporting tools and a modern user friendly interface, AD Info lets you easily query your Active Directory domain for the information you need. Use one of the 190+ queries that come with the application or use the custom query designer to create your own query based on any attributes you choose. The free edition is provided in the hope that it is useful to fellow IT Pros, it is not intended to just be a trial/demo of the standard edition (though you can use it as such if you are considering purchasing the standard edition). It is completely free for personal and commercial use and is not time limited. Whilst some features are only available in the standard edition, hopefully the fact that it still has over 190 predefined queries and can export results to CSV will mean it is the most useful free active directory reporting tool around. See below for a summary of the features that can be found in the free edition (and the standard edition) - Powerful - Query a huge number of attributes on Computers, Contacts, Containers/OUs, Groups, GPOs, Printers, and Users - Fast - Retrieving only the attributes you are interested in and using intelligent caching helps make this one of the fastest AD reporting tools available - Useful - Easily query several attributes that are not included in many other similar tools, such as direct and nested group membership - Accurate - AD Info will query each DC in the domain to get accurate values for any non-replicated attributes (Last Logon etc) - User Friendly - Designed to be easy to use and modern, you can be running your first query within seconds of launching AD Info for the first time - Flexible - Instead of having hard coded values like "Members of Domain Admins", AD Info lets you specify any group (see screenshots) - Secure - Uses encryption for regular LDAP queries and includes an option to use SSL (LDAPS) - Exportable - Export any query results to CSV file for use in other processes and reports - Multi-Domain Friendly - Correctly identifies group membership across trusted domains and child domains (also works from a non domain machine)

AD Permissions Reporter is a modern, intuitive program that makes it easy to report on security permissons on your Active Directory objects. It can be used to document all permissions in the domain, or you can use the powerful filtering capabilities to track down specific types of permissions that do not conform to your organisation's standards, or simply to see which AD objects a particular user has been granted access to. The free edition is provided in the hope that it is useful to fellow IT Pros, it is not intended to just be a trial/demo of the standard edition (though you could use it as such if you are considering purchasing the standard edition). Whilst some features are only available in the standard edition, the free edition is still usefule. See below for a summary of the features that can be found in the free edition (and the standard edition) - Powerful - With options such as being able to view group members (and nested group and primary group members) directly within the report - Fast - Intelligent caching helps make this one of the fastest permissions reporting tools available - Accurate - Unlike some other tools, you will always get accurate representations of permissions with AD Permissions Reporter - User Friendly - Designed to be easy to use and modern, you can be running your first report within seconds of launching the application for the first time - Exportable - Easily export report results to file (CSV file or HTML file in free edition, additional formats in standard edition) - Multi-Domain Friendly - Correctly reports display names and other account details for accounts in external trusted domains

Outlook 2010, Lync, and Sharepoint can display a photo for each user account or contact in Active Directory but includes no way to upload images into the "thumbnailPhoto" Active Directory attribute that is used to store these images other than the command line tools included with Exchange 2010. AD Photo Edit is a user friendly application designed to make it easy to upload, edit, and export these images. Free Edition Features - Quick and easy way to view existing images for any number of users or contacts, with the option to limit search results by OU and other attributes - Export any existing images to JPG file - Remove existing images - Upload new images to user accounts or contacts in your domain (or specify an alternate domain to connect to) - Easily rotate, resize and adjust the quality of images before uploading them - Does not limit images to being less than 10 KB in size like the Exchange 2010 command line tools - Works with all versions of Exchange Server - Choose to upload to the thumbnailPhoto attribute (used by Outlook & Lync) or jpegPhoto attribute (used by third party applications)

If you have ever assigned a user as a manager of a security/distribution group in Active Directory, you may have noticed the option "Manager can update membership list" which grants the user permission to add and remove members from this group. The only problem with this is that there is no easy way for the user to actually make these changes, other than through Microsoft Outlook. So Group Manager was designed to be an easy to use tool for end users to add and remove users/contacts/groups to any groups that they are managers of, for any organisations that do not have (or do not want to use) Microsoft Outlook for this task. It will also be useful for any organisations that are using Outlook but are moving to a hosted Exchange solution, as end users will not be able to make changes to the local domain through Outlook in this scenario. Features - No configuration required - automatically detects current user and finds only groups that they are manager of - Allows end users to add new members or remove existing members (users, contacts, computers, or groups) to any of the groups they manage - Works with groups that are managed by other groups that the user is a member of - User friendly and simple to use - Add members from other domains in your forest or from externally trusted domains - Control via Group Policy - control which types of objects the user can add to groups, whether or not they are allowed to remove existing members, and more - Export current group members to CSV file Free Edition Limitations - The free edition is intended to be used by smaller organisations where users only manage a single group, or by anyone that wants to test the application out before purchasing the standard edition. It is only able to manage a single group (if the user is a manager of more than one group then a warning will appear and they will only see the first group found) and the user is also not able to change any of the program options (manually or via Group Policy) or add new members from other domains.

Search your Active Directory domain for user/computer accounts that are no longer in use by filtering based on last logon time, DNS record timestamp, and much more. You can then perform a number of actions on the accounts that were found - such as moving them to another OU, disabling them, setting a random password, removing them from all groups, and much more. Features - Report on both user and computer accounts - Search entire domain or select a specific OU - Multi-domain friendly - specify any domain and optionally use alternate credentials to connect to it - Get account last logon information from all DCs or select specific DCs (using either lastLogon attribute or lastLogonTimeStamp attribute) - Choose to only find accounts that have not logged on for a specified number of days - Confirm whether or not computer accounts are still active by using the Ping test and DNS record timestamp check - Powerful filtering capabilities let you filter results accounts based on name, group membership, expiration date, LDAP attribute, and more - Export report results to CSV or Excel XLSX file - Save report settings to file so that you can reload them whenever you want or share them with colleagues - Option to reverse actions that were previously performed (Standard Edition only) - Command line support and Automated Rules allow for automation of account clean up tasks (Standard Edition only) For any accounts that are found in the report, you can perform one or more of the following actions: - Disable - Delete - Move To Another OU - Set Description - Set Expiration Date - Add To Group - Remove From Group - Remove From All Groups - Hide From Exchange Address Lists - Delete home drive - Clear LDAP Attribute Value - Run External Script - Set Random Password - Disable OWA - Set Password To Never Expire You can also combine any of these actions into an Action Sequence to speed up common clean up tasks such as disabling accounts and moving them to another OU at the same time. Action sequences can be performed manually on any selected accounts, or by automated rules and command line scripts.

When it comes to changing an admin or service account password there is almost always at least one service or scheduled task that is only discovered when the service stops working after the password change, so this tool was developed to help make sure you have discovered every single one and it can also update the password on each of them remotely for you. The free edition is provided in the hope that it is useful to fellow IT Pros, it is not intended to just be a trial/demo of the standard edition (though you could use it as such if you are considering purchasing the standard edition). Whilst some features are only available in the standard edition, the free edition can still save you hours of work tracking down all the services and tasks using a specified account. See below for a summary of the features that can be found in the free edition (and the additional features in the standard edition) - Time Saving - Scan any number of servers to automatically find all Windows services and scheduled tasks and see who they are running as - Import Computers - Import a list of computers to scan from an Active Directory OU, CSV file, or manually type them in - Task Scheduler 2.0 Compatible - Works with Server 2008 format scheduled tasks as well as XP/2003 format - Intelligent - Automatically looks up alternate formats for the username you specify (i.e. searching for DOMAIN\User will also find user@domain.local) - Fast - Uses native Windows APIs (does not rely on WMI) and multi-threading to query multiple remote servers quickly - Managed Service Account Aware - Works with Managed Service Accounts, allowing you to find and update services running under MSA credentials
