PowerAd
is an administration tool that can both
manage an Active Directory
diary and a network. Microsoft
provides an MMC that can manage the Active
Directory, and you can find many
network management tools on Internet. But
the console provided by Microsoft
only have “primary” functionalities, and
the network management tools that can be
found are expensive, and none of them have
Active Directory
management integrated.
Our console have the same “basic” functionalities
as the Microsoft
“Active Directory
users & computers” console, but it also
have advanced possibilities, such ass
mass property editing, mass password reinit,
etc… We are also planning to develop a
light web client that will have the basic
settings, so the helpdesk team can reinit
a password from anywhere on the network,
etc…
This is software is provided under the
PowerAD licence 1.0, that means it is
free and open source. But you cannot sell
it, that’s the main difference with the
GNU General Public License. We chose to
make it free and open source to create
a community around this software, because
there aren’t much community around Microsoft’s
systems, and around free Microsoft
management software. The open source also
permit administrators to adapt the software
to their networks.
