rDirectory is a web-interface to Active Directory that allows organizations to turn AD into a tool the entire organization can benefit from. It provides an immediate employee and resource directory for quick searches on virtually any attribute. You can create custom view and edit forms for different audiences without having to give out native permissions. The delegation of self-service edits, password resets/unlocks, group management, provisioning is all done through the web interface using a proxy account so you don’t have to give any direct access to your AD. It installs in minutes, and comes pre-configured out of the box. Complete with full audit logs and automatic email alerts you can set up on certain events for full visibility. rDirectory is an invaluable IT time saver, and keeps AD in tip top shape with the flexible delegation, but granular control.

Tool - Discover Active Directory Effective Permissions in Seconds
I like the Permissions Monitor because it enables me to see quickly WHO has permissions to do WHAT. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS permissions for a specific file or folder, takes into account network share access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
Think of all the frustration that this free utility saves when you are troubleshooting authorization problems for users access to a resource.
