UltraAdmin Provides Robust Domain and Active Directory Management at a Perfect Price

Overview

Confronted daily by burdensome tasks like resetting passwords, rebooting computers, scheduling jobs, updating group memberships, and reporting on users, then sifting through all the different tools and interfaces to do the job, makes Microsoft Windows ® domain and Active Directory management much more difficult than it should be. This is why Dorian Software created a consolidated, intelligent tool to help.

Among its accolades, UltraAdmin ® has been called an "uber-management" tool by Ziff-Davis. Those across the globe who manage Windows - based domains with UltraAdmin no doubt agree - they have already learned what a cost-saver and time-saver UltraAdmin can be.

Spyware removal, start-up program management, and Terminal Services client integration make UltraAdmin a time-saving and cost effective tool for administrators feeling the pinch of exanding duties and shrinking resources. Now, UltraAdmin brings additional tools that have become "must have" functionality for many administrators on a daily basis.

Two recent developments are key milestones for the UltraAdmin software:

  • Compatibility with Windows Server ® 2008 and Windows Vista ®
  • Dorian's exclusive LogRefiner ™ technology has been integrated with UltraAdmin to provide for viewing and mining of event logs seamlessly - whether in EVT or EVTX format.

And, with UltraAdmin 6 and above, all of this is offered at no charge to Windows administrators around the world.

Here are some of the many features that have made UltraAdmin a market leader:

Anti-Spyware Tools and Startup Program Management
Spyware, malware, and unauthorized software installations will continue to plague IT staff for years. UltraAdmin has the ability to list some of the most common areas used by programs both good and bad to ensure their ability to load at startup or at user logon. However, UltraAdmin takes this one step further by enabling administrators to:

  • Directly view the properties of the executable file or .DLL on the target workstation in Windows Explorer, dramatically reducing the clicks and navigation required to access that view
  • Directly view the properties of service and device executables in Windows Explorer, dramatically reducing the clicks and navigation required to access that view
  • Adjust the Access Control List of the file to prevent its execution or load
  • Remove the registry entries associated with the file
  • Remove the file itself
  • Remotely reboot the system after modifications are made
  • Report on/Export startup objects and files on certain machines using the built-in UltraAdmin Reporter

Consequently, UltraAdmin enables administrators to surgically remove various startup programs and suspected malware components one-by-one, rather than take the riskier "shotgun blast" approach of many anti-spyware software packages. Now, when a user calls in complaining of system performance problems, an admin can immediately see the quantity and type of programs set to load at startup or logon, document the items via an exportable report, and take steps at remediation.

New Organizational Unit Targeting
Active Directory migration usually requires consolidating smaller domains into large domains with rights delegation managed by Organizational Units. UltraAdmin can be configured to target a specific OU, so that individual OU administrators can zero in on information for only those users, groups, computers, and other objects they are responsible for within a larger domain. When in "OU Mode", UltraAdmin only retrieves and displays objects within that OU. However, full Domain Administrators can still manage all objects in the entire domain as required.

Group Policy Management
When viewing the entire Active Directory, or just a branch of it, UltraAdmin enables the administrator to easily invoke the Microsoft Group Policy Editor to tweak the policies linked to various objects in the domain. Furthermore, administrators can quickly view what policy or combination of policies is affecting a particular user or computer account. In addition, admins can also link or unlink specific policies to domains and OUs in the portion of the Active Directory they control using the Linked Group Policy Objects Dialog in UltraAdmin.

Immediate Exports and Reports of Object Information
The UltraAdmin Reporter can be easily accessed to export and report on various objects? properties with the click of a button. Conveniently report on such objects as shares, user accounts, and group accounts without abandoning a specific dialog or view.

Custom Computer View
Administrators can directly add the names or IP addresses of various computers into UltraAdmin's interface, and then summon that list by selecting the "Custom Computer List" category from the category drop-down menu. If the systems are not in a domain, UltraAdmin's "Authenticate" feature can be used to remotely logon to the machine with a specific machine account to manage and report on the various objects of that machine.

RDP/Terminal Services Client Integration
With UltraAdmin on a Microsoft Windows XP ® workstation, administrators can immediately shell out to a Terminal Services Client session on a listed computer.

Improved User Interface
Areas of the UltraAdmin interface have been improved while maintaining the ease and simplicity that UltraAdmin has always promised its users. For example, a logon hours grid for logon hour management has been seamlessly included for UltraAdmin.

Expanded Reporting
For years, UltraAdmin has shipped with a domain object reporter, allowing administrators to quickly and easily produce detailed reports on objects in a domain, such as user accounts, groups, computers, installed software, and more. In response to the need for network administrators to report on an ever-increasing number of objects, reporting capabilities and options have been expanded significantly.

These are in addition to the existing features and supported management categories that have made UltraAdmin an acclaimed domain management tool:

  • Event Log Support - An internal event log viewer ships with UltraAdmin, allowing administrators to quickly examine and filter for events in their active and saved event logs. In addition, this can work alongside Dorian Software Creations' other event log software to provide a powerful log management solution.
  • User Terminal Services Property Editing - Administrations can adjust per-user Terminal Server settings, such as disconnect times, remote control options, and more.
  • Robust messaging and shutdown/restart capability.
