Active Directory Assist Pro

Most everything works great with the App. Makes my job as admin a lot easier when I’m out on the road. There is a new issue that has recently started that I have yet to figure out. I can no longer change a users password. It gives me an error that the password doesn’t meet the server requirements. Which is odd because I am the domain admin and can set the same password that the app refuses if I sit at me desk and change it. So if a user forgets their password, and I’m out on the road, there is an issue. (Which happens a lot) Other than that, it’s a great tool for an AD admin.

I was looking for an easier way to add users than to log in remotely to the Windows server, waiting for the AD manager to come up, right clicking on a template user account that had the correct access that I wanted to duplicate, copying it, and entering the new information. Nope. I cannot copy a template account to create a new user. I cannot define my own template to at least put the user into the correct groups and OU, and our user naming convention is not the same as the app’s, so I have to change it every time. Also, I’d be ok with the non-aesthetically-pleasing UI if the app were more powerful, but it seems very limited in what it can do. So, it’s still actually easier for me to log in remotely.

The product works great, so Kudos for that! It’s made life so much easier. My only complaint is that with the new Dark Mode, I have to constantly turn off Dark Mode off in order to use the app. If it could be revived and fixed it would improve the app greatly.
