Active Directory Services Connector

The Active Directory Services Connector lets you administer accounts, groups, and containers, printers, computers, and shared folders on Active Directory Services servers and provides a single point for all user administration by letting you do the following:

• Register endpoints, explore them for objects to manage, and correlate their accounts with global users
• Create and manage Active Directory Services accounts using account templates specific to Active Directory Services
• Synchronize global users with their roles or synchronize global users' accounts with their account templates
• Change account passwords and account activations in one place
• Assign an Active Directory Services account template to each of your Active Directory Services endpoints
• Use the default Endpoint Type account template to create accounts with the minimum level of security needed to access an Active Directory Services directory
• Create and manage Active Directory Services groups, containers, printers, shared folders, and computers
• Generate and print reports about Active Directory Services accounts

This connector is managed using the Connector and C++ Server installation process.
