A lot of people have been asking if we were going to integrate Active Directory Reports with Management in ADManager Plus.The answer is of course YES.

For the initial version of the integration, we added options like Delete, Disable, Enable Users or Computers in Active Directory. This feature will release soon, once the testing team gives the green signal.

We're working on more integration between Reports and Management, so consider this just a sip.

If you have any, questions, comments, or feedback for us, we are all ears

It's been a long time since I blogged. After the Release of ADManager Plus 4 GA on April 1st 06, our team is engaged in developing more features and enhacing the existing features requested by our users.

We are getting requests on many interesting features (some of which are in our Roadmap). We got more requests on these two features especially.

1.Naming Format Customization. User can customize Naming format as per their company policy. Example: FirstName +.+ MiddleName +.+ LastName, FirstName + MiddleName + LastName, etc.

2.Mulitple Login Feature. Setting different permissions for different users on ADManager Plus(can restrict users on ADManager Plus).

We have already completed the first one - 'Naming Format Customization' and have sent early access to few users. We have also completed 'Multiple Login' and started testing it vigorously. This feature should be available for use in ADManager Plus 4.1. Once this feature is up, users should be able to set various access permissions for individual users.

We will also be bundling ADManager Plus 4.1 with lot of useful features. Check out our Roadmap. We will be giving out early access of ADManager Plus 4.1 build, so people interested out there just shoot a mail to support[at]admanagerplus[dot]com. We will send you the link to download.

I thank you for all the useful suggesstions which you have been giving us so far, Please keep it coming.
