There are a few aspects of ADManager Plus automated user provisioning that are worth paying attention to:
Approval Workflow :
Allows you to implement a review-approve process over the automation.
Template-Controlled Provisioning:
Save all the user account configurations, such as mailbox rights, LCS/OCS properties, etc., as templates and reuse them whenever necessary.
Reactive Naming Format:
ADManager Plus allows you to define reactive naming formats, which improvises names with whatever data is provided in CSV.
Offers a good measure of control over the Active Directory automation process.
You don’t have to scurry between AD and Exchange server or between AD and LCS/OCS snap-ins for property configuration. This method of user provisioning is real quick and time-saving.
In a CSV-based user provisioning operation, a naming operation can go awry (and sometimes account creation itself), if mandatory fields are missing values.
Be it any kind of enterprise, there would be a set of common Active Directory actions to be performed on user and computer accounts. For example:
Basically, it is all about picking out a set of accounts (as needed by the situation at hand) and performing some action (move, or disable, or delete, or reset password, etc.) on them.
ADManager Plus prepackages these actions and scenarios for you and lets you automate them.
