What it is
ADManager Plus is a web tool for managing and auditing Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Exchange and Google Workspace. It does bulk account creation and changes from templates and CSV, delegates helpdesk tasks without domain-admin rights, and ships hundreds of reports.
Problems it removes
- Bulk Active Directory account creation and changes are slow and error-prone in native tools.
- The helpdesk needs to perform AD tasks without being given domain-admin rights.
- You need audit and activity reports across AD, Microsoft 365 and Exchange.
How administrators use it
- Create and modify users in bulk from templates and CSV files.
- Delegate scoped helpdesk tasks safely, without over-privileging staff.
- Run hundreds of built-in AD, M365 and Exchange reports.
Strengths & trade-offs
Strengths
- A major time-saver for bulk AD work.
- Safe delegation without over-privilege.
- Extensive reporting.
Trade-offs
- Runs on a Windows server and is paid for full features.
- Overkill for a very small domain.
Common questions
Does it replace Active Directory Users and Computers?
