Clickatell message integration
We have Clickatell set up. We have users with their Cell Phone numbers in AD. Is there a way to set up a group in AD and use the clickatell integration to message them? We are looking for an easy way to message our security counsel when there is a all clear or bogus alert. I know that this isn't the designed use for AD Manager Plus. It does have the ability to send notifications via SMS. It has all of the groups and cell phone numbers so it has the necessary components, except maybe the interface?

Copied User Creation Templates are not available to Help Desk
I copied some of the user creation templates and disabled the Exchange email creation and saved them with a new name but the copies are not showing up in the available template list for the Help Desk team. Is there an option to determine which templates they can use? Thanks, Keith
Problem when copying User Templates
Greetings, We recently discovered that if you have Creation Rule in User Creation Template that sets Domain Users group to a said user, it actually tries to add that Domain Users group where you copied the template. For example I have template in domain1 and I want to use that same template in domain2 and modify it as necessary. Now because domain1 template has that creation rule, it tries to set domain1\Domain Users group to domain2 User. Not a biggie, but then we discovered, that because of this,

Remove Office 365 license in user modification template
I have a user termination template but I would like to be able to have it remove the user's Office 365 e3 license as well. I can't seem to find a way to do this other than using psremoting to my 365 tenant in a custom script. I can add licenses during creation, i should be able to remove them during termination. Is there an easy way to do this?
User Template Creation Rules
In AD Manager I'd like to see more condition variables added to the creation templates rules like "contains", "does not contain", "starts with", "ends with", etc.. Some of these are available with certain rule fields but not with all of them. The rules would be more flexible if more condition variables were available with all of the fields.

Notifications - tasks in templates
I was looking at the notification profile section in AD Manager. I noticed that you can set the notification to alerts you to specific action tasks events. I wanted to be alerted when specific techs perform account attribute action tasks like enabling and disabling user accounts. However if a task is bundled within a modification template then it doesn't work because the event is only logged under the "modify single user" action task. Is there way make the notifications more granular so that they
User Home Folder: DFS supported?
Hi there I'm currently configure my first user creation template and trying to figure out how I can configure the homefolder when we use DFS. For example: It should connect to \\mycompany.com\dfspath\userhome\%username% as home folder and create a new share, But when I set that, it takes mycompany.com as server name. Can I change that?

User modification template
Hello, I have few concerns about User modification templates. I have a need that I only need to set said user to disabled, remove all groups and run a custom script. In the User modification template logonnames and full name are mandatory, if I understood correctly. Does the template modify these attributes? Because I don't want that :) Another question I have about the template, that if I set the template to a automation, do I need to give for example samaccountname in the automation CSV? In this
Bamboo HR Integration?
Hello, My organization is currently testing Bamboo HR (http://www.bamboohr.com/api/documentation/) and i wanted to know if ADManager Plus had any integration / open API's which could be used to link both systems together. We are interested in the possibility of the following workflow. 1.

Thanks, Bob
Custom scripts executed twice
Since the upgrade to build 6613, all my custom scripts in user's modification templates are executed twice so for most of our scripts this cause incorrect results. Fortunately each of our scripts generate a log file on the server of the actions executed as additional information. I have all that confirmed by looking at the processes in task manager on the server and i can see both execution sequencially. is there a quick fix while waiting for the next update ?
