Main Features
 |
SPEED - create users fast by using templates for each type of job. You only have to enter their name and hit go! No need for adding groups or specifying properties, and potentially making errors. |
 |
RELIABILITY - when using templates to create new users they are all created using the same template so drastically reduces the possibility of human error. You only have to enter their name and hit go! |
 |
SCALABLE - manage multiple servers/networks/domains. |
 |
MASS MANIPULATION - update multiple accounts in one go. Specify what attribute you would like to change and hit go! All the selected accounts are updated instantly. No need to manually go through each account specifying the same settings. |
 |
TEMPLATES - create a template for each type of user, i.e. receptionist. Specify all atributes for this user type, i.e. username format, home directory location, member groups, etc. Whenever a new receptionist starts (in this case) simply select 'New User From Template', select Receptionist template, enter their name, and hit go! Their account will created using the settings specified in the template. |
 |
IMPORT USERS - import users from either CSV or an ActivMan client. CSV importing is now fully customisable. Use ActivMan client/server for remote networks to synchronise your Active Directory to their MIS. |
 |
AUTO IMPORT (schools only) - never worry about new users coming and old users leaving. AutoImport will automatically create any new users and disable/delete/move any old users. |
 |
MIS (SIMS.NET - schools only) - extract students and staff DIRECTLY from your MIS. No need for 3rd party utilities or complicated batch files or exporting users to CSV. Extract them directly from your MIS into your Active Directory. |

Testimonials
Thanks to the folks at ANB Software who have developed a tool to automate the creation of Active Directory users directly from SIMS data, the time taken to setup each server has drastically reduced.

Essentially ActivMan pulls through information from SIMS to create user accounts for pupils and staff, a process that takes minutes using this software as opposed to spending days doing it manually. For the price of this software it is an absolute bargain in my opinion, I have discussed this with xxxxxx and she thinks it is a good idea too as it frees up so much time.
