Management Console for Active Directory

Today, Active Directory (AD) administrators face the overwhelming task of attempting to master numerous tools in their environment. These environments include many consoles and Web portals, reporting engines, collection mechanisms, data stores and licensing schemes. In addition, these administrators must use an increasing number of solutions to help manage their organization’s infrastructure. Without a common console with a single interface, administrators spend increased time to maintain a healthy AD environment.

Quest has taken a lead in developing a common console that incorporates Microsoft native tools, Quest products and most other Microsoft Management Console-based snap-ins, and united them in a single interface. Based on the Microsoft Management Console (MMC), the Quest console provides a single administrative interface across Quest Active Directory management products, allowing you to manage Active Directory and its supporting infrastructure with one common console.

Streamline Active Directory Management

Microsoft Active Directory is the backbone of many organizations and, as such, AD administrators have been thrust into the spotlight, knowing full well that any AD-related issue is usually well publicized and highly visible within their organization. With its single interface, the Quest® Management Console for Active Directory helps to ease the daily challenges faced by administrators and IT staff as they try to keep AD running at peak performance.

In a typical day, an AD administrator must master numerous tools to effectively manage the day-to-day operation of the organization’s AD environment. MMC has become the administrator's interface of choice for managing Windows-based solutions, such as Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC), Active Directory Domains and Trusts (ADDT), and Active Directory Sites and Services (ADSS). The Management Console leverages the experience you already have with MMC, reducing the need for extensive training on new tools.
