Active Directory Janitor wins WindowsNetworking award
By Michael Pietroforte | 1 Comment | Permalink | Trackback | Previous | NextSpecial Operations Software Active Directory Janitor is the WindowsNetworking readers’ choice award winner in the administration tools category at WindowsNetworking. Second is DameWare NT Utilities and third is Pukka Software’s Domain Administration Tool.
Active Directory Janitor allows you to search for outdated user and computer accounts and helps you then decide from a number of criteria whether to delete, disable or move them.
DameWare NT Utilities is an enterprise system management solution for Windows NT/2000/XP integrating all standard windows management utilities and also supporting Terminal Server and Exchange user management.
The Domain Administration tool has numerous interesting AD management features such as combined changes on users, reporting and import/export capabilities.
By the way, the 4sysops list contains 30 free Windows management utilities now. The ranking is not yet statistically significant. If you have a free minute or so please stop and rate your favorite tools. I am curious to know which free Windows admin tools are the best.
To be honest I can’t see the reasoning behind paying 3 grand for Active Directory Janitor that does not do anything that any reasonably experienced sysadmin can do through AD scripts or searches.
