Why should you automate Active Directory provisioning?
When we have moved on to mobile phones from the traditional wired telephones, why still struggle with the traditional methods when it comes to Active Directory management? Manual user provisioning with native AD tools and scripting can be quite burdensome for IT admins, making it a time-consuming and a risk- prone process. Using these conventional ways of managing Active Directory is like sticking to wired telephones, ignoring the benefits and mobility that cellphones offer. Here is how ADManager
ADManager Plus users
Newbie here. Just had this project, to implement ADMP in our environment and create processes around user administration mostly. I find that the ADMP documentation is very heavy on the sales side of things (how ADMP can cut your repetetive admin tasks) but extremely light on the how to side of things. I'm currently trying to figure out the users inside ADMP itself and why, when I modified some users, they got moved into the Direct Users group in ADMP. Every time I search for users or ADMP users

Block Basic Authentication on User Creation
Hello, Is it possible to have basic authentication to Office 365 blocked immediately after a new account is created? I didn't see anything regarding this under the Management options in the Office 365 tab. We could accomplish this by running a custom script at each creation, but that seems like an inefficient way to do it.
How to view and manage the Terminal Services properties of Active Directory users?
ADManager Plus can help simplify the reporting on terminal services properties of AD Users with the Users' Terminal Service Properties report.

How to view and export a list of Active Directory users with Dial-in access permission?
ADManager Plus' Dial-In access permission reports contain a list of Active Directory users who have Dial-in access. With a lot of organizations resorting to working remotely, the Dial-in Access reports with options to change the permission from within the report itself, would be useful for both monitoring and managing Dial-In access permissions of users. Steps to generate the Dial-In Allow Access report: Click the Reports tab. Go to User Reports. Go to General Reports, and click the Dial-in Allow

Local Accounts on a Domain Controller
Hello and thanks for reading this My basic understanding of the process of promoting a server to a domain controller includes "hiding" or removing the local SAM database. Some articles say it gets deleted and accounts move into the Domain SAM, some articles say the local SAM database is still there and accessible if the server is put into Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM). Here's my question, and I'd like to ask it in the context of a bad actor gaining access to a domain controller which is
Setting Account Expiration
Has anyone had an issue not being able to set an account to expire past one day? Within ADManage if I set an account to expire anything further out past one day it looks like it takes it, but when I check it in Active Directory is shows to expire within the same day. Example: Today's date: 04.07.2020 ADManage set account 'testuser01' to expire 05.01.2020 Active Directory shows account 'testuser01' to expire 04.07.2020

Good day, We have ADManager Plus (Build 6540) configured for O365 integration and am working on a new user creation template.

Re-enable, Move User, Set Expiration Date for Bulk Users
Hello, Wondering if anyone has a solution for this scenario? We automate account creation (bulk) from CSV. Rule is not to create if duplicate on Full Name. Which is good and what we want.
