Postprocessing for AD user management

[Armin Linder]

Hi everyone,

does the AD Users and Computers console (or the MMC in general) provide
any means to hook scripts into common administrative tasks? I want to do
some automation via WSH scripts, especially when a user is created, a
user account is locked by an administrator and a user account is deleted.

Thanks

Armin

You can use LDIFDE to do batching processing. For details,

Hi Dennis,

thaks for you reply, but what I have in mind is some sort of extending
the functionality of the "AD users and Computers" console, not to write
a console of my own.

The taskpad feature of the mmc allows you to do exactly this...

See the "Taskpad" section of this article->
