Dovestones AD Reporting
Newmarket, Ontario, Canada
What it is
Dovestones AD Reporting is Windows software for automating Active Directory audits, reports, queries, and account cleanup. It provides pre-built and custom reports covering users, passwords, computers, and groups, with account-status details and indicators of when users or computers were last used. One-off queries can target questions such as inactive computers. A scheduler runs reports and bulk changes in the background, including moving, deleting, or disabling redundant accounts and removing users from sensitive groups. Reports can be emailed, printed, or exported, and command-line operation is supported. The manual says deployment needs no server components or agents and does not require Active Directory changes, although installation adds a Windows service for scheduled jobs. Requirements include Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 and Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 or later. Infoopia Inc., founded in 2005, is identified as the maker. The product is paid, has no free plan, and offers a trial version.
