Active Directory Web Interface for Administration

I have been administering active directory since last 4 years. The most frustating thing I found was to administer it remotely - the only was to remote desktop to one of the domain controllers and do my task.

Later on I realized that Active Directory Administration GUI provided by Microsoft was just enough to get my task done. But this GUI was not smart enough to provide me instant feedback on whats happening in my domain. Such as - last logon time for each user, active computers, groups with member summary and many more things. So I realized that it was not enough for me to do normal administration task. And more over I wanted to do it using Web Browser - so it does not matter whether I am using Linux or Windows, I just pop-up browser and do everything required to do administration.

Microsoft included System.DirectoryServices package which can talk to AD and give us more information. I started writing a small application which can give me visual feedback on domain users.







So, I came up with above screenshots, and there were many more things possible with these APIs, but there were half-cooked api. So I had to figure out how do I things.

Now, I have active directory web interface, which allows me to do Administration using web browser. I have following features in this interface
  • Create New Users
  • Create Groups
  • Edit user group membership
  • Edit user properties
  • Edit group members
  • Display user status
  • Display group summary
  • Display computer summary
I think I will be able to open source it soon. But if you really want to use my application please send me an email and I will send you the app.

AdWebMin 0.1 is released!

Great thinking, most of the network administrators need to have a consolidate view of whole AD. Your interface is a summay view, what an admin wants. Also i think the user description field should also be here. Kindly send me a copy of this script. Thanks in advance.

Hi, as many before I am quite interested in your little application.
