AdventNet Upgrades ADManager Plus With Live Communication Server Support
Updated to Support Bulk Configuration of Live Communications Server Attribute in Active Directory
PLEASANTON, California, August 28, 2007
AdventNet Inc., the leading provider of enterprise IT management software today announced the inclusion
of an important feature to its ManageEngine ADManager Plus, an active
directory management and reporting software, to configure Live
Communication Server attributes for all or qualified users in the Active
Directory, from its web- based console.
Microsoft Office Live Communication Server is a manageable and
extensible instant messaging server (IMS) that provides a real-time
collaboration solution. It enables corporations to reach, collaborate, and
respond to information more quickly as compared to telephones and e-mail.
Enterprises today realize the need for LCS and want to implement them
immediately, but to configure LCS into one's Active Directory with the
traditional command line tools and scripts is cumbersome, error prone and
time consuming.
ADManager Plus understands the need and also the difficulty faced by an
administrator in configuring Live Communication Server attributes into his
Active Directory. This release is a major step in the direction of
addressing these difficulties. With ADManager Plus the Administrator can
configure various LCS attributes along with other attributes like General,
Contact, Exchange Server, Terminal Services and Custom attributes within
minutes. Some of the LCS settings with ADManager Plus include Federation,
Archiving, and Remote Control using an intuitive web-based user interface.
Using pre-defined templates, administrator can apply the configured
settings to single or bulk users by applying the easy to use CSV import
feature.
"The bottleneck I was facing in changing the user home directories was
resolved quicker than I thought it would and with very little
administrative effort. We have used the reports of ADManager Plus on numerous occasions, from notifying users of expired passwords to finding
out which computers were no longer being used or which computers had been
renamed but Active Directory still had the old computer name stored, it has
helped us cleanup Active Directory with ease. I am very impressed by this
product and would highly recommend it to any organization of any size. This
is a product you can't go wrong with," said Masood Darr, Help Desk
Coordinator, Bruce Edmeades Co. a satisfied customer.
