ADManager Plus Fixes and Enhancements for Version 6.2 build 6200 to 6250

Version 6.2 Build 6250 (Oct 2014)

Features:

Exclude Child OUs filter: For AD management/reporting tasks, this filter allows you to precisely select the particular OUs only in which the specified management/reporting tasks have to be executed, by allowing you to exclude their child OUs from being modified/affected by the task.

'Remove users/computers from all groups' option: For pruning the group membership of user and computer objects, instead of going through the list of each group that they belong to, and then removing them from all the irrelevant groups one by one, you can use this option to remove them from all the groups that they are currently members of, and then add them only to the desired groups.

Copy Help Desk Role: You can use this feature to create a new helpdesk role by just copying the settings of an existing helpdesk role. Instead of creating a new role from the scratch, this feature allows you to use any existing role as a building block for creating a new role.

You can now delegate to helpdesk technicians, the task of modifying or removing the share/NTFS permissions that AD users and groups have on the file servers located in your Active Directory.
