Directory Service Comparison Tool

Welcome to our website. Here you will be able to find tools for managing Windows Active Directory. There are many different software developers that have created tools for automating the time consuming tasks that system Administrators have to deal with on a day to day basis. For example managing user accounts in Active Directory, organizing the computer and user accounts into the right folder, cleaning up old accounts, monitoring the Domain Controllers to ensure they are running healthy, etc. Some of these Active Directory tasks require a deeper knowledge in Active Directory Management and related technologies.

Software that can automate these time consuming tasks, will help avoid manual, error prone administrative activities on Active Directory and saves time and cost

Directory Service Comparison Tool

Windows 2008 Server has a new feature allowing administrators to create snapshots of the Active Directory database. Active Directory snapshots allow read-only access to your backups through LDAP.

The limitation to this is you cannot copy items or information from the snapshot to the production database. The Directory Service Comparison Tool makes use of Active Directory Snapshots to expand its functionality.

Main features of Directory Service Comparison Tool

• Display differences between objects in Active Directory and Active Directory Snapshots

• Restore attribute values from snapshots to Active Directory

• Reanimate deleted object

• Display differences in group membership for a selected object (users, computers and groups). Allows for full or selective restore of group membership at any time.

• Retrieve relevant AD audit event log entries for a specific object from all domain controllers in a domain. Filtering options allow you to find and inspect attribute specific event log entries.

Directory Service Comparison Tools requires the domain services to be running Windows Server 2008. Directory Service Comparison Tool does not have to be installed on a domain controller, it can be installed on Windows 2008 Server, Windows XP SP3, and most likely Windows Viste (not tested yet).
