As a Microsoft Active Directory Administrator, it's your responsibility to keep AD up and running smoothly, so end users stay productive and your company keeps moving forward. Even the best run Active Directory systems can fall victim to problems, though. And that's when things get pretty uncomfortable for you.
For example, something as simple as an accidental group policy object change could restrict user access to necessary resources, bringing the organization's productivity to a grinding halt, and thrust you into emergency recovery mode. Relying on native management tools alone can leave you in the dark, pouring over event logs as you try to determine the cause of the shutdown.
And even if you do discover the permission issue was the culprit, you still have to figure out where the process failed in the first place and how to quickly get back to a working state. All this as time continues to tick away, with every passing second costing more in lost productivity. And all eyes are squarely on you for a solution. It's the kind of nightmare scenario that no AD admin wants to face.
But you can proactively manage Active Directory and ensure better business continuity with Active Administrator from Quest Software.
