Software

 Bulk AD Users (free)

WiseSoft Bulk AD Users is a tool that makes it easy to perform bulk updates to Active Directory User account attributes. Previously you might have wrote scripts to perform these types of updates or gone through a very tedious process of performing these updates one at a time via the ADU&C interface. Bulk AD Users makes this process much simpler and also provides an XML log file that allows you to undo any unwanted updates. The application includes powerful query capabilities and has a number of different ways to allow you to update user account data. e.g. Update From CSV, Edit In Excel, Edit In Grid, Bulk Modify (Similar to the User dialog in ADU&C, but it works on any number of user accounts).

Password Control (free)

Password Control is a simple tool to allow helpdesk staff and system administrators reset passwords of Active Directory User accounts.

Account Management Spreadsheet (free)

Account Management spreadsheet is a tool that allows you to create Active Directory User accounts in Microsoft Excel

News

02/03/2009 - The webiste has been updated with improved searching - more of the website content is now included in the search (previously only the scripts section was searched).  Also, searching is now SQL Server full-text based, making it easier to find content on the webiste.  Another feature added is support for LiveID and OpendID authentication - this means that you can now use your Google, Yahoo, AOL  or Windows Live ID (.NET Passport) to log in to WiseSoft.co.uk.  One less username/password to remember - Great!
Tip: To associate an Open ID with your existing WiseSoft.co.uk account, login with your existing details and goto "Edit Profile".  The option to associate an OpenID is available at the bottom of the page.

Defragmenting an Active Directory Database
Like its predecessors, Windows Server 2008 keeps the Active Directory healthy by periodically performing an automated defragmentation. Although this defragmentation works, it does not compact the database. Periodically performing an offline defragmentation is a great way to get some of your domain controller’s disk space back.
