Add users to group based on e-mail address?
Hello, Can I have a .csv file that is just a list of e-mail addresses (whicih happen to match the UserPrincipalName for users in our environment) and add those users a Group? I've tried "logonName" as CSV header and that doesn't work either. I don't want our admin to have to manage a list of samaccountnames or Distinguished Name entries to enable automation of a distribution list. It would be easier if they could just have a .csv file with userPrincipalheader and have the AD Group Automation add

Modify group attributes of the users | CSV Format
Hello everyone, Am looking to find out the correct format for a CSV to import, for a task using the "Modify group attributes of the users" function, and clarification that I am understanding this process correctly. We currently have a very large e-mail distribution group that almost 200 people are a member of now, but within that group there are now 2 distinct services, and they do not need to really see internal comms from the "other half". Some of our more experienced staff, however, will still

I'm testing ADmanager Plus for our environment and was testing on excluding specific groups of employees that are technicians shouldn't be able to see or edit. But after adding groups and even a specific OU for testing purposes and going ahead and signing in as the technician that has the exclusions I still see the OU and a profile that's under the group that was excluded while trying a task.

How do manager update Membership list
I have assign a manager to a group in order to update the member list. I have also provided a security role to the manager to allow Read/Write of the specific group. But I don't see how the manager can edit the list, unless he has a technical role in the tool. Seeing as there are hundreds of Manager, that would not scale-up, if we needed a technician role for every manager, just to update the memebership of their group. I've looked at the documentation and have not been able to find the steps. Is

Replacing Group Membership with CSV
I'm at a college and we have adopted ADManager Plus to automate provisioning AD accounts, groups etc from our ERP/SIS. So far things are going well, but I was setting up some group automation today and ran into something that seems will require two scheduled pieces instead of just one. I want to have a group populated with updated membership from a CSV (just contains the sAMAccountName). I figured I could use an Automation Policy and add two steps, one to remove all members and a second to add the
Applying a template to an existing Account
I remember this being discussed a few years ago but it was said that it was on the road map to be an added feature. It, however, never got added. An important feature for AD Manager Plus would be to allow a template to be applied to an existing user account like it during a new account creation process. Is there any idea when this feature will be added. It's been 3 years since this was last discussed.
Reset Password options
We use ADManager 5.2.0 (build 5210) and we would like to know if there is a way to limit what a person can do on the password reset screen? At our company it is common that users must change their password at next logon if they forgot there password. On the right site of the screen it now set to N/A, can we change this to default Yes so that our helpdeskstaff cannot change this?

Punctuation removal frm usernames
Is there a way to remove all punctuation from usernames? I've created a naming format and enabled: remove umlaut accents remove all spaces trim unwanted spaces and dots This work really well for those cases, but we do get users with dashes - in their names and occasionally apostrophes ' in them, and I can't find anywhere to remove them. I've tried adding them to the umlaut accents and replacing them with spaces and hoping one of the other rules will remove the space, but no luck. Perhaps even a feature

AD Manager and incremental usernames
Hello, I'm testing out ADManager plus and considering buying it to manage our Active Directory. We have an organization of over 1200 users. Our username format is HNxxxxx where the xxxxx are random numbers, e.g. a username could be HN10111. Can this be done automatically so when one of our AD administrators creates a new user, AD Manager Plus will figure out the username by it self without us "interfering"? Best regards

Group list not in any order
Since updating to build 6550, we have noticed a problem with the way groups are displaying in a list. When looking at a user's account properties and then displaying the groups the user belongs to, the list seems to be in a completely random order. Although having the group OU displayed is useful, when the user belongs to a long list of groups, it becomes unmanageable. Can this be displayed in some kind of order, either alphabetic or OU/alphabetic? Thanks, Helen ManageEngine User Group New Zealand

False positives in AD group report
Hi I'm running reports to determine who are members of a couple of groups. I've selected the groups, which I know have x members in, however when I run the report it shows every member of AD in the report, so I cannot determine who is actually in teh group and who is not. It used to work fine, I've not made any changes to the config, so I'm now confused why I cant seem to report on the actual group members Thanks in advance John

Helpdesk technician reports
Hello, I have actually created 2 helpdesk technicians, one "readonly" and one "admin". Because there are some information that are in the Active Directory that only the "admin" users can view. So I was wondering if there is a way where the readonly user is limited in the fields available to add in the report he is generating. And that the admin user can still view all the fields. I am not talking about the modification templates but about the user reports. Is it possible to manage that through the
