ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus

ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus is a straightforward and secure web-based application geared towards users who need to perform self service password reset, manage accounts with password status reports and get complete Active Directory (AD) control, thus enhancing productivity and reducing critical password tickets.

It provides you with a simple means of resetting forgotten passwords, updating each user’s information in real-time and unlocking user accounts within seconds.

The main window that will appear when you launch the program for the first time requires you to manually specify the AD domain (in case it is not detected automatically). This way, you need to specify the domain name and add the controllers you are interested in. Optionally, you can set the login information. After that, you can make use of the program and access all its available tabs such as ‘Dashboard’, ‘Reports’, ‘Configuration’ and ‘Admin’.

Resetting passwords and user accounts, setting or removing expiry notifications, managing group memberships and generating audit reports are everyday tasks that a help desk technician has to handle as a routine. Using ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus, such actions are performed more easily in an intuitive and secure environment.

In case you want to reset your forgotten password, you just need to press the proper button available in the main window. After you specify your username and domain, the program will automatically redirect you to the page where you can authenticate yourself.

The Reports section includes three main categories, namely ‘User Reports’, ‘Enrollment Reports’ and ‘Audit Reports’. Each document provides you with detailed information about each user account, which serves for the auditing purpose.

Overall, ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus proves to be a steady and effective solution when it comes to updating personal details about each user in Active Directory, synchronizing passwords, as well as generating user list and account status reports.
