Active Administrator

Active Administrator enables Windows administrators to secure, audit, maintain and recover Active Directory efficiently and effectively – without the immobility and complexity of native administrative tools.

Today, Windows administrators must manage the many different elements of Active Directory more quickly and with fewer staff. But doing “more with less” while employing a “sense of urgency” increases the likelihood of misapplying security, mismanaging GPOs, overlooking important AD events, neglecting performance and missing changes to AD objects. To avoid these mistakes, you need a solution that plugs the holes found in native Active Directory administrative tools.

Active Administrator enables Windows administrators to secure, audit, maintain and recover Active Directory efficiently and effectively – without the immobility and complexity of native administrative tools. Easy to use and easy to install,Active Administrator speeds and simplifies numerous administrative tasks like security, delegation, auditing, GPOs, accounts, sites, trusts, replication and recovery.

Active Directory Management Solutions

If you've made the investment in Active Directory and its "gold-standard" approach to authentication (that being Kerberos), why not extend that to other platforms in your organization?

Let your Unix, Linux, Mac and Java systems leverage the security advantages that Active Directory offers by authenticating accounts on those systems against Active Directory. You can even use Group Policy to help control those accounts. This strategy provides an economical, secure, and compliant alternative to directory synchronization or multiple login solutions.
