Features

ActivMan is designed to automate and simplify Active Directory user management. From templates and mass-updates to MIS integration and automated provisioning, ActivMan removes repetitive tasks and reduces human error across your entire user lifecycle.

Fast User Creation

Create new users in seconds using templates. Simply enter a name and go — no need to manually assign groups, set properties, or configure home folders. Templates ensure every account is created consistently and correctly.

Reliable & Consistent

Because templates define all required settings, every user created from a template follows the same structure. This eliminates mistakes, enforces standards, and ensures predictable results across your organisation.7

Scalable Across Your Network

Manage multiple servers, networks, domains, and sites from one interface. Ideal for multi-site organisations and distributed environments.

Mass Manipulation

Update multiple accounts at once. Choose the attribute you want to change — username, password, description, profile path, logon script — and apply it instantly to all selected users. No repetitive manual editing.

Powerful Templates

Create templates for each user type (e.g., receptionist, teacher, Year 9 student). Templates can define:

• Username format
• Home directory location
• Folder/share permissions
• Group memberships
• Password generation rules

When used, ActivMan automatically creates the home directory, sets permissions, creates the share (optional), and applies all template settings. Works with manual creation, CSV import, and MIS import.

Import Users

Import users from CSV or via the ActivMan client/server for remote networks. CSV importing is fully customisable, allowing you to map fields and apply templates automatically.

Auto Import (Education Edition)

Automatically create new users and disable, delete, or move leavers based on MIS data. No manual intervention required — ActivMan keeps your AD aligned with your MIS.

MIS Integration (Education Edition)

Extract students and staff directly from your MIS - no third-party tools, no batch files, no manual exports. ActivMan connects directly to your MIS, imports users, creates home folders, sets permissions, and generates groups such as:

• Teaching groups
• Registration groups
• Year groups
• Teachers-of-student groups
• Room staff groups

Hours of manual work completed in moments.

Actions & Automation

Create unlimited "actions" - scripts, executables, batch files - and link them to events such as user creation. Automatically trigger tasks like mailbox creation, logging, or custom workflows.
