Hi Brian, We recently decided to not renew our Active Admin subscription as well; we used it for reporting and some auditing. Most of the functionality was replaced with Powershell (reporting using ADSI) and native AD auditing. For AD objects that have been accidentally deleted, you can use ADrestore from Microsoft.com\sysinternals and it should do the trick.

We have ScriptLogic's ActiveAdmin product right now - it does some nice stuff with backing up AD objects so you can restore that user ID that someone accidentally deleted and does some good stuff with Group Policy (offline editing). We also use it for auditing AD changes. Does anyone else use something similar that they like? ActiveAdmin is OK, but the license is up for renewal and we want to look at the options. It isn't cheap... Brian Webb - MCSE TDS Corporate IS, Windows Server Platform Team Senior Systems Administrator "When stuck on a problem as often can be, try to remember G.B.T.T.D.
