Exchange Management

Exchange Server is the backbone of messaging service in most of the organizations and works in synchronization with the Active Directory. Hence, management of Exchange Server is as important as managing the Active Directory for any administrator. But under the existing management architecture, an administrator has to switch among "ADUC", "Exchange System Manager", "Exchange Management Console" and "Exchange Management Shell". Moreover it is not possible for administrators to manage Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 servers simultaneously in a single console. Even, allowing help desks to just create mailboxes alone is not viable as the help desk must be granted full organization rights to create mailbox. Also, the existing exchange management console does not provide any support to set mailbox properties while creating the mailbox for users. Hence, the need of the hour is a software which implements all these administrative needs into features.

Keeping in mind the demands for efficient administration of Active Directory and Exchange Server, ADManager Plus offers the following features:

  • "All–in–one" user management console – Enables management of Exchange Server and ADUC in a single console.
  • "Multi–mode" operational console – Allows administrators to manage both Exchange Server 2003 and Exchange Server 2007 simultaneopusly in a single console.
  • "Set mailbox properties during creation" – Makes usability a cake walk for administrators as they can set mailbox properties while creating mailbox– all in one console.
  • Administrators can delegate help desks the rights of creating and setting mailbox properties by assigning the ready–to–use "ADManager Plus templates" to help desks.

Finally, adding to the myriad list of amenities, ADManager Plus alleviates the administrative burden by enabling "creation of mailboxes and setting mailbox properties" for bulk users by just importing a CSV file.
