Active Directory Assist Pro

Paid for this app and never been updated

Most everything works great with the App. Makes my job as admin a lot easier when I’m out on the road. There is a new issue that has recently started that I have yet to figure out. I can no longer change a users password. It gives me an error that the password doesn’t meet the server requirements. Which is odd because I am the domain admin and can set the same password that the app refuses if I sit at me desk and change it. So if a user forgets their password, and I’m out on the road, there is an issue. (Which happens a lot) Other than that, it’s a great tool for an AD admin.

I was looking for an easier way to add users than to log in remotely to the Windows server, waiting for the AD manager to come up, right clicking on a template user account that had the correct access that I wanted to duplicate, copying it, and entering the new information. Nope. I cannot copy a template account to create a new user. I cannot define my own template to at least put the user into the correct groups and OU, and our user naming convention is not the same as the app’s, so I have to change it every time. Also, I’d be ok with the non-aesthetically-pleasing UI if the app were more powerful, but it seems very limited in what it can do. So, it’s still actually easier for me to log in remotely.

I really need the ability to select/copy the text of search/display results (like computer name and user’s context) so that I can copy/paste them into other apps (like Remote Desktop) when I am working on a support call. If that was possible, I wouldn’t have to ‘write down’ (on paper?) the info I got just so that I could then enter it into an email and send it on to my users. During thid COVID-19 outbreak, people are Remote-ing In and they don’t really know the ‘full’ computer name of their Office PC. Being able to select copy/paste that info would be a tremendous benefit. Just make ALL text result display boxes copy-able, and you’d have an excellent tool for IT Support staff (like myself) to use.

The product works great, so Kudos for that! It’s made life so much easier. My only complaint is that with the new Dark Mode, I have to constantly turn off Dark Mode off in order to use the app. If it could be revived and fixed it would improve the app greatly.

HUGE timesaver. Excellent for common daily (and basic) admin tasks. But please, please… Incorporate fuzzy search. e.g. When I’m searching for a computer, I shouldn’t have to type in the beginning of its name when hundreds of computers all start with the same name. Also, is there a way to browse containers or OUs? Those have been my only desires for about a year now. Aside from that, this utility has been extremely handy while providing floor support when I’m not at my desk. Thank you! UPDATE: FUZZY SEARCH!!! YAAAAY!!! Thank you! 🙌🙏😄

No longer working since it updated today for IOS 13 support. Running dark mode and can’t see a thing.

This app works great when I’m out in the field and I get a call that a user is locked out of their account. However, I have to type in the domain password in every time. I would really like to see finger print and Face ID implemented. *****UPDATE***** I like that Touch ID and Face ID have been added. However, after I enable it, the app crashes the very next time I launch it. *****UPDATE***** After today’s update, Touch ID now works!!!

Are you going to add iPhone X support? The app can definitely use a refresh after a year.

I was able to VPN into the office and unlock a users account and change their password while driving (not recommended), but was super easy. Using it in an AD deployment of over 20,000 users.
