Active Administrator

Simplify AD management with Active Directory management tools. Without effective Active Directory management tools, administrators will struggle to manage critical Microsoft AD environments efficiently. Doing more with less increases the likelihood of accidental changes to AD objects, configurations and Group Policy data that can raise your risk of errors and downtime. The need to enforce internal policies and address compliance regulations only adds to the challenge.

With this Active Directory management tool, you can save time by scheduling automated backups.

The ability to granularly recover Active Directory and Group Policy ensures business continuity when unwanted changes or deletions occur.
