Computer template - name formats and drop down lists
In our computer template we have required location and would like to use a drop down list similar to, but not identical to, the office drop down list for the user template. Can AD Manager Plus create and manage such a drop down list? Also, we have a specific format for our computer names with a portion that should be selected from a drop down list. Does AD Manager Plus support formats for the computer name field as it does for usernames and email addresses?
ISSUE: Automated task to modify users via template
We have started a new program on site where past users are coming back into our system. I created a template to update their AD account with settings for Active Users and move them to a new OU. When I run the template with Modify Bulk Users using the same CSV I use in the automation task, I get to select the search criteria and the update criteria. However in the automation process I do not have this option resulting in what appears to be a user lookup by last name. This is problematic as its changing
Notification Profile - Add option for sending notification when user is Suspended
Curiously missing from the list of options is the ability to send a notification when a user is suspended. Unless I'm missing it, this would be nice to have.
Vital Helpdesk Reports buttons missing from Dashboard
Good Morning I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or know how to fix this. Usually when I log into ADManagerplus or AD360 and look at the dashboard, it has a section with buttons under "Vital Helpdesk reports" Can't find screenshot of all 3 buttons now but it used to show three buttons under Vital helpdesk reports: 1. for unlock users 2. for Passwords expiring in 7 days 3. for Passwords Expired Users Last week the "Unlock users" section disappeared from Vital Help Desk Reports, and today
Mail attribute/column in reports does not return data for all users
I've tried a few different reports and for some reason some user's attributes come back as empty but when i look in ADSI i see the attributes are populated. This is happening on a few custom attributes i setup but also with the Mail attribute that's built into the reports. any idea on what could cause the reports to not fetch the data? this is not happening with all users, just a handful.The fields come back empty in the reports but when i check ADSI the attribute is populated.

ISSUE: Renaming user after update to build 6581
After our recent update to the latest build there seems to be an issue when renaming a user account. In the past we could update a users sAMAccountName,UserPrincipalName and Full Name from within ADManager. However after the update the changes do not stay.

Errorcode 80071392 when creating User
Hi there, when trying to create a new User via my own Usertemplate in aDManager Plus I receive the Errorcode 80071392: The Object already exists. Unfortunately I created rules, so when ADManager detects a duplicate Username it just adds a Number to it. But I think it isn't working... Then I tried to add the Number manually by myself. But the erorr still exists. I am on the newest Version of ADManager Plus. What could be my mistake? Thank you!

Modify User Templates
I have some existing users and want to modify some O365 elements but there do not appear to be any O365 elements on any of the templates and it doesn't look as though I can add them as a new template either. Is this the case? I want to add a remote mailbox element to the user as they were created in AD manually and then an O365 mailbox created. They have no remote mailbox attribute so do not show up in my Exchange Admin Console on prem as we are in a hybrid type state at the moment. Many thanks DrD
Name Change & Associated Taks?
We're relatively new to ADManager, and I'd to know if the following is possible to turn into a delegated task. The scenario comes up quite frequently, a user's sir name has changed (Example, Jennifer Smith is now Jennifer Johnson). Here's what we would typically need to accomplish: Rename the user account from smitj to johnj. Rename the home directory from smitj to johnj. Create a new home directory share of johnj$ on the new home directory folder. Rename the contact information. Change the primary
Locked out User Account report to show device
Is there a way to get the Locked Out User report to show the device they were using when locked out? I know the information is in Domain Controller event logs. When a brute force password attack happens it would be nice for it to show the PC it was launched from.

Error when setting up Office 365 setting in AD Manager
I set up the Azure AD manager module on the server which AD manager operates on. I followed instructions provided on the page to log in to Azure AD and test connection and all worked. When I then go back to AD Manager and try to connect I get error message (see attachment). My account is set up for Office 365 Administration. What do I need to do to make this work?
Provide a privileged username & password to manage all the accounts in: domain more effectively
AD Manager Plus. Under Domain Settings we have Authentication enabled with an AD account created specifically for this purpose. When we try to perform actions we received the message "Provide a privileged username & password to manage all the accounts in: domain more effectively." Putting the in the Account Operators Group did not work. Modifying the user to grant user creation, modification and deletion privileges did not work. Is there any guidance on the privileges an AD user needs to work effectively
Linked mailbox
Howdy, We are having issues attempting to create a linked mailbox within ADManager. After the creation of the AD account (within ADM) we run a custom script at the end of it.

O365 sync issues
Hi all, When creating accounts and attempting to license them in Azure, all appears well but the license info never comes across. The accounts are setup with DirSync and they appear in the Azure portal - they're just unlicensed. Under Admin - Office 365 - the account appears fine and if you enter the password is takes it without issue: If I then click on the modify option I get the following: Again, if I enter the password all appears OK. The Azure AD module is installed on the server in question

Reports Scheduler - User or Global?
Hi There, I'm fairly new to ADManager Plus - We have a small team who'll administer the reporting in AD Reporting and the build in Scheduler What I'm seeing currently is that the AD Reporting Scheduler is specific to each user, meaning we're unable to modify or administer or even check the status of an AD report someone else has created in the scheduler. - I've checked the permissions in AD Delegation and I cant see an option to allow Super Admins access to all the schedulers, and I cant see an
Added 'Detailed Group Members' to the Create Schedule wizard
It would be great if the 'Detailed Group Members' report was a part of the Create Schedule wizard when selecting Group Reports. Not having it available in this wizard causes issues when I or another user that creates a Detailed Group Members report we are unable to see and modify these reports when changes are necessary. Should one of the people that created these reports leaves then no one would have access to the reports except possibly the default admin account which we do not like to use because
User Creation - How do I setup a template to create a mail account in a hybrid environment?
Hello, We currently have a hybrid Exchange environment with Exchange 2013 linked to Office 365. We have been creating our mail accounts on-premises and then migrating them to the Office 365 environment as this maintains the link between the on-prem AD object and the cloud account. We recently solved an issue where our AD Manager Plus was not connecting to Office 365 and I would now like to be able to build into our user creation templates the creation of the Exchange account and Office 365 licensing,
AD Pictures
Hi there. We would like to use AD Manager to possibly show an employee directory with pictures so we can print it out (for the executive assistants). If I create a report in AD Reports I can add a custom attribute thumbnailPhoto but it only shows 1/0/- as the result. Is there a way to show the image in the report? I would rather not introduce another software to show an employee directory. Thanks,
Email password when password has been reset
Hi All we have a set of users that are external users. When our helpdesk resets a users password is there a way to email it to the users email address. We did this for newly created users - (see https://forums.manageengine.com/topic/email-password-to-newly-created-user ) but would like to do it when our helpdesk resets the users password too if possible.
ActiveSync enabled users in Office365
It would be real helpful to have a Office365 report that shows who has ActiveSync enabled. We only enable users that have Mobile devices and MDM through Office365 Apps. Having a report that will run against Iffice365 users would be really helpful
Changes made to a request after te request was added
Hi, I am trialing this product and have found something think could be improved. Once a requestor requests a user, it goes to a reviewer to review, and either approve or reject. Lets say, as a reviewer, I decide some information is incorrect, I am able to correct the information in the request, approve it, which then moves it to the point where a technician will submit the changes. This is all good functionality, however, for accountability, auditability it would be good if any changes were recorded
Exporting not working
I am running some AD reports, and I haven't gotten any report to export successfully. It just opens a new blank tab in the browser and spins. I have also tried in console mode.

Automation tasks from Admin not showing
Not sure if this is by design but Automation Tasks that were created by the Admin user do NOT show up in the Automation Tasks of other users who have the Super Admin role. The weird thing is that the Scheduled reports created by the Admin user show up in the Scheduled reports section of other users. Basically we want to make sure no one is creating scheduled tasks that are doing the same thing.

Additional drop down list for user management
Hi all in our environment for full automation we will need additional drop down box that will help us fully automate user creation process. At this moment we are using Offices and Departments pre-populated lists to do some of automation (home drive, basic group membership) but are in the need to have another list that will add specific group membership. It is important that list is in form of dropdown box as our technicians can select it rather than type it in (prone to errors) or there is some other
