About ActivMan

ActivMan is a powerful Active Directory user management and automation tool designed to streamline the entire user lifecycle. Built on the familiar foundation of Microsoft's Active Directory Users MMC snap-in, ActivMan enhances the experience with advanced features such as mass user updates, templating, automated provisioning, and direct MIS integration. It is used by schools, colleges, and businesses that need a fast, reliable way to keep their Active Directory aligned with real-world organisational changes.

What ActivMan Does

ActivMan simplifies and automates the tasks IT teams perform every day. It can import students and staff directly from your MIS, synchronise user data with Active Directory, and automatically disable leavers to maintain security. Home folders and shares can be created with correct permissions, templates can be applied to new or existing users, and custom scripts can be executed when certain events occur. ActivMan also supports users moving between sites, making it ideal for multi-site organisations.
