[ActiveDir] AD Administration Tools Suvey

[Myrick, Todd (CIT)]

Title: Message

Our group is in the process of evaluating some 3rd party tools to assist in delegation and administration of our Active Directory technology. We are evaluating the products based on 6 key areas.   1.  Role / Trustee delegation 2.  Control View of resources 3.  Data Validation & Rule Sets 4.  Group Policy Management 5.  Reporting 6.  Web based administration   We are also evaluating Native Delegation vs Proxy based Delegation.   What I am fishing for from this community is some experiences and possibly some recommendations from this group on some of the Admin consoles you folks use.       Thanks   Todd
