However, Active Administrator is much more expensive because licensing is based on the number of Active Directory users. Myron, thanks for the tip.

It's great for active directory auditing with live or scheduled reporting, group policy management and security delegation. In addition I really enjoy the way it can restore individual objects from backups.

BUT, we have found in our testing of the product that it isn't 100% accurate in particular situations. The first instance where it is not accurate is in regards to "locked out" users. Active Directory Reports from MaxPowerSoft takes domain security policies into account during the process of reporting information to the end user. Because of our programmatic logic, we are able to produce solid results that reflect company policies and protocol. The JiJi Technologies tool is nice and the UI is very similiar to ours.

Michael, great idea! Igor and I have been talking about import/export functionality since the inception of AD Reports. We are planning on eventually moving the product in this direction. Dean, thank you for offering the link. I will post a link back to you as well. Regards, Chris Sorry for the late response. Michael, great idea!

The 1000 limitation currently found in the AD Reports product has been fixed and will be released in our next 1.0.0.4 release. We are on the brink of releasing this product within the next month or two. Thanks to 4sysops and Michael Pietroforte for reviewing our product.

It seems to max out at 1000 computers when loading the records. This has been pointed out to the author on Mar 13th but has not been addressed yet. I would love to leverage this tool but with over 8000 PCs in our AD, it does not help. This tool is good but has one major flaw. It seems to max out at 1000 computers when loading the records.
