Product Information
Active Administrator, the comprehensive Active Directory solution from ScriptLogic provides administrators the ability to establish, view and enforce delegated security throughout Active Directory management, perform comprehensive Group Policy management including Group Policy reporting and Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP) as well as powerful auditing and reporting of changes within Active Directory.
Active Directory Management involves the delegating, securing, configuring, managing and auditing of changes to Microsoft’s implementation of LDAP directory services for use in Windows environments. The main purpose of Active Directory is to provide central authentication and authorization services. Active Directory has native tools for basic administration, but, lack enterprise-class management capabilities that give administrators the ability to view, audit and report on the ever-changing state of their Active Directory infrastructure.
New Features
Self-Healing Active Templates
Should permissions assigned with Active Templates be broken, missing permissions are automatically recreated, enforcing your security model. Emails optionally alert administrators of the change.
Offline Group Policy Repository
Administrators can now edit Group Policies offline from Active Directory, ensuring no adverse affects from Group Policy changes. Active Administrator's RSoP functionality can be run against GPOs stored in the offline repository to validate settings, completing the GPO management cycle before the policies are ever published to the live Active Directory.
Object-Level Backup and Restore
Performing Authoritative Restores on Domain Controllers in Directory Services Restore Mode is now a thing of the past! Active Administrator can backup and restore your entire Active Directory or any combination of objects, giving administrators easy access to what was once a daunting or impossible task.

Benefits
Simplified Security with Active Templates
Active Administrator exclusively uses Active Templates, which make assigning permissions easier by taking the guesswork out of what permissions need to go where. Each template defines the specific permissions required to accomplish Active Directory tasks, such as 'Users - Create User Accounts.' By utilizing Active Templates, administrators make delegation an easy task and ensure consistent assignment of permissions across Active Directory.
Self-Healing Active Templates
Should permissions assigned with Active Templates be broken, missing permissions are automatically recreated, enforcing your security model. Emails optionally alert administrators of the change.
Comprehensive Group Policy Management Active Administrator gives administrators the ability to plan, edit, backup and restore, and manage group policy settings, all within a single interface. Active Administrator's Resultant Set of Policies (RSoP) functionality allows administrators to plan 'what-if' scenarios when moving a user or computer. Active Administrator automatically maintains a GPO history, allowing rollback to a particular version of a GPO. The ability to restore Group Policies means faster response to corruption or changes that have a negative impact on users.
Offline Group Policy Repository
Administrators can now edit Group Policies offline from Active Directory, ensuring no adverse affects from Group Policy changes. Active Administrator's RSoP functionality can be run against GPOs stored in the offline repository to validate settings, completing the GPO management cycle before the policies are ever published to the live Active Directory.
Powerful Active Directory Auditing
Active Administrator centrally audits the Security event logs on your domain controllers. By auditing the changes made to Active Directory objects or Group Policies, you can find out exactly what changes were made in Active Directory and who made the changes without having to filter through potentially thousands of event log entries. Active Administrator can even email you when selected Active Directory events occur.
Object-Level Backup and Restore
Performing Authoritative Restores on Domain Controllers in Directory Services Restore Mode is now a thing of the past! Active Administrator can backup and restore your entire Active Directory or any combination of objects, giving administrators easy access to what was once a daunting or impossible task.
