Zitat:
Our customers told us that while Directory Update was great for some types of information, they wanted a different interface that allowed a designated user (such as a receptionist or Human Resources department) to be able to update user information in the Active Directory other user’s information. There was just some data they did not want their user’s to update.
The answer is Directory Manager; Directory Manager is a simple, web-based application that allows a designated user to update other user’s information in Active Directory through a easy to use interface. Directory Manager is US$399 and is licensed on a per-domain model (not administrator-by-administrator or based on the total number of users.) This makes Directory Manager affordable for all sizes of organizations. Visit the Directory Manager purchasing page for more information.
From the main screen of Directory Manager, the user can search for other user’s in the Active Directory using a number of different attributes.
When the user finds the user they want to update, a simple mouse brings up the interface to edit the user’s information. The administrator can ensure that the designated user enters accurate information by changing text boxes to drop-down lists that contain only valid information. The telephone number format can be validated using regular expressions
How can you get started? Download the evaluation version (good for 10 days) and install. If you decide you like Directory Manager, you can purchase the software and activate it with the license key we provide.
Prerequisites / Requirements
Directory Update has some very specific server requirements in order to work properly. This is because we use the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 libraries and specific ASP.NET functions of Internet Information Server. Here are the server requirements.
Windows 2003 (Standard or Enterprise Edition) with SP1 or SP2
Internet Information Server with the Web Server installed, ASP.NET enabled, and IIS must be in IIS 6.0 mode (the default)
Install the Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 (you can find a link to this on our Downloads page.)
Ensure that ASP.NET v2.0.50727 is allowed in the IIS Web Service Extensions (found in IIS Manager)
Create a service account that has permissions to update the users that will be updated. This is most easily accomplished by putting the service account in the Account Operators group.
Create a global or universal security group called Directory Update Managers; put any users that will use Directory Manager in this group.
Customizing Directory Manager
Full information on customizing Directory Manager will be in the documentation. However, is a summary of the configuration files. There are three basic configuration files (XML files) that are found in the .\Settings folder.
AppSettings.xml
AppSettings.xml is the configuration for the overall application. In this file, you will logon form settings, customize the logo, configure labels for buttons (if you are localizing or changing the language of the interface), help links, validation messages, and available search filters.
DirectorySettings.xml
DirectorySettings.xml is the master configuration file for the screen that the Directory Manager user sees when he or she is updating a user. From here you can configure which fields/attributes are visible, editable, drop-down lists, values for drop-down lists, text boxes, and field labels. Here is also where you configure section notes.
AddressSettings.xml
AddressSettings.xml allows you to specify a list of address (mailing address) data that will be automatically filled when the user selects an office, company, or department name. Each section of data in the AddressSettings.xml file must match a valid choice in the DirectorySettings.xml file.
Style.css
Style.css is the application’s style sheet. It can be found in the \Styles folder of the DirectoryManager folder. From here you can change the color scheme that Directory Manager uses. We recommend that only advanced users try to modify this file.
We strongly recommend an editor like Notepad++; Notepad++ is a SourceForge open source project and can be downloaded at http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm. The software is free but works as well as any low-cost commercial editor
