Quest
Management Console for Active Directory includes the following new
features:
- Export and Import Raw Active
Directory Attributes - Provides the ability to export and import raw
Active Directory attributes. You can easily perform bulk changes to
Active Directory objects using the export and import feature. You can

Active Directory objects:

For example, Computer Management (Local System) functionality is

subsets of a snap-in's object hierarchy so
they can be displayed and viewed in a different way.

The
following is a list of issues known to exist at the time of the Quest
Management Console for Active Directory release:
Must upgrade Quest Management Console for Exchange if on
same computer
Before you install the Management Console for Active Directory
on a computer that already hosts the Management Console for Exchange 1.0.2
or earlier, you must upgrade the Exchange product to release 1.0.3 or
later.
Quest Active Roles Server initially missing + sign on
root node
If you using Quest Active Roles Server through the management
console, the + sign is missing on the root node until you click the node.
IIS snap-in not included under Local System node
When you select a computer under Active Directory View, or a server
under one of the Views, the Local Systems node contains all the Computer
Management snap-ins with the exception of IIS.
.MSC files cannot be shared between computers
You may see an error if you try to load an .msc file created on a different computer if that
computer has a different configuration, even if the snap-ins in the .msc file are common to both.
Active Directory View node may take time to populate the
first time
The first time you expand the Domains node, and you are
connecting over a slow link, the Active Directory View node may take a few
seconds to populate and the + (plus sign) will not immediately appear. The
hourglass does not display to indicate that it is "busy".
