Active Directory Users and Computers Client Alternative.

Hi,

This is my first post in ArchLinux Forum. Currently I'm using Windows 7 PC in my office and I use "Active Directory Users and Computers Client" to administration things. Now I'm going to install arch linux on my office PC and need alternative tools for AD management things. can anyone please suggest me tools ?

Thanks !

You haven't given much information and "things" isn't too descriptive.

It will depend on what you need to administer (user attributes? groups too?).

It will also depend upon the level of administrative access you have.

However, there are several ldap browser type tools you could test. Try afew out and report back on what you can or cannot do with them.

I'm a one of super admins. I have terminal server access in case. I just need to do password changes & account unlock things basically. It's great if I can create OU's and add members to OU''s. its great if there are terminal tools for management

Why not just RDP onto a DC?

I imagine any tools you do find for Linux will be more or less limited (and probably very linited).

ugh.I'm too lazy to RDP into DC every time when someone call to unlock account. please let me inform if there is tool for just unlock accounts and change password ?

The Wiki would be a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LD … entication. As for LDAP admin tools, I'm sure your Google results would be the same as mine - ldappasswd?

Yeah... kinda sums up this thread, wouldn't you agree?

Why not heed the advice given above and try out some of the utilities available? Seems to me a "suoer admin" should be well able to work this out.

Arch Linux isn't exactly a distribution for those who're going to be lazy. You do need to be prepared to look through google to find your own solutions. It's pretty highly frowned upon to post on the forums without first looking for a solution, and exhausting other options.
