| Simplified Security with Active Templates |
| Active Administrator exclusively uses Active Templates,
which make assigning permissions easier by taking
the guesswork out of what permissions need to go
where. Each template defines the specific permissions
required to accomplish Active Directory tasks, such
as "Users - Create User Accounts." By utilizing
Active Templates, administrators make delegation
an easy task and ensure consistent assignment of
permissions across Active Directory. |
| |
| Self-Healing Active Templates |
| Should permissions assigned with Active Templates
be broken, missing permissions are automatically
recreated, enforcing your security model. Emails
optionally alert administrators of the change. |
| |
| Comprehensive Group Policy Management |
| Active Administrator gives administrators the
ability to plan, edit, backup and restore, and manage
group policy settings, all within a single interface.
Active Administrator's Resultant Set of Policies
(RSoP) functionality allows administrators to plan
"what-if" scenarios when moving a user or computer.
Active Administrator automatically maintains a GPO
history, allowing rollback to a particular version
of a GPO. The ability to restore Group Policies
means faster response to corruption or changes that
have a negative impact on users. |
| |
| Offline Group Policy Repository |
| Administrators can now edit Group Policies offline
from Active Directory, ensuring no adverse affects
from Group Policy changes. Active Administrator's
RSoP functionality can be run against GPOs stored
in the offline repository to validate settings,
completing the GPO management cycle before the policies
are ever published to the live Active Directory. |
| |
| Powerful Active Directory Auditing |
| Active Administrator centrally audits the Security
event logs on your domain controllers. By auditing
the changes made to Active Directory objects or
Group Policies, you can find out exactly what changes
were made in Active Directory and who made the changes
without having to filter through potentially thousands
of event log entries. Active Administrator can even
email you when selected Active Directory events
occur. |
| |
| Object-Level Backup and Restore |
| Performing Authoritative Restores on Domain Controllers
in Directory Services Restore Mode is now a thing
of the past! Active Administrator can backup and
restore your entire Active Directory or any combination
of objects, giving administrators easy access to
what was once a daunting or impossible task. |
