Active Directory Workflow

In today's world of Information Technology, Active Directory functions as the beehive of all organizational activities. As a consequence, one wrong move could spark off a domino-fall-sequence of disasters that might result in a total collapse of the organization's functions.

TIn order to avoid such adversities the Active Directory management team should take safety measures and ensure that all actions performed in AD are supervised or double-checked.

Administrators will agree that this function is not so easy, especially when using conventional options like the native AD tools, PowerShell, etc., because of the complexity, exhaustive man-hours and other resources that go in to securing Active Directory. To combat these shortcomings, ManageEngine ADManager Plus brings you Workflow - a workflow management, Active Directory ticketing and Compliance system, right within ADManager Plus itself!!

Active Directory Workflow

Workflow is much like a repository for Active Directory task requests or tickets, which also allows the administrator to define the approval workflow to specify how management tasks like account creation, modification, Active Directory cleanup, etc. should be executed.

Features:

• The ability to build a customized workflow structure, with required number of workflow agents appropriate to organization needs. . viz. Requester, reviewer, Approver and Executer.
• Practically unlimited repository of requests. All agents in the loop can view all the requests, keep track of the completed ones, and act upon them (if they are designated to do so).
• Functions as a compliance tool-kit; holds an exhaustive list of all requests that were completed which can be kept for a desired period or as long as your IT compliance Acts require
• Facilitates notification to concerned users anytime during the execution of a task
• The ability to define a set of rules that help assign a set of workflow agents and priority to a specific task
• The Workflow can also be implemented in the ADManager Plus 'Automation' to retain required level of control over automated tasks.
• Add objects to groups in other domains while performing a user management task.
