NTFS Permissions Reporter Updates
Over the last few weeks we have released updates for one of our most popular tools, NTFS Permissions Reporter. Here are the details of the changes in the new versions:
File Permissions Check Released
This free tool for locating files that have different permissions to their parent directory is now out of BETA and available to download.
File Permissions Check BETA
In most cases IT administrators set permissions on folders and then all files within simply inherit permissions from their parent folder. However, sometimes files might unintentionally have inheritance disabled or they might have additional permissions on top of the inherited permissions that should not be there (this can be caused by files being moved rather than copied). So this tool has been developed to help easily locate files that are either not inheriting permissions or do not have identical permissions to their parent folder.
Get Local Admins GUI 2.2 Released
A small update to add 2 useful features to this free tool. More details below
AD Tidy 2.5 Released
This update for the Standard Edition of AD Tidy adds a large number of new features to both the client GUI and automated rules server. Details below.
AD Account Reset Tool 1.4 Released
A new version of the popular Active Directory Account Reset Tool has now been released, adding some commonly requested features as explained below.
VB.NET Decode AD UserParameters Attribute Values
I’m often asked if I can include attributes from a user’s Terminal Services Profile tab in their AD properties in AD Info and AD Tidy, but for whatever reason MS decided to store these attributes in a very strange format so it is not easy. I’ve finally spent some time on it and got something working now and thought I would share my results (and frustration) with the rest of the community in case it helps anyone else out.
Updates to both AD Photo Edit and the free AD Account Reset Tool have been released this week to add commonly requested features. Full details below.
AD Permissions Reporting Tool
The first version of my Active Directory permissions reporting tool has now been officially released. There are still plenty of features I will be adding in future updates but even this first version is easier to use and more powerful than other tools out there – but then I would say that wouldn’t I
AD Permissions Reporter BETA Released
The public BETA of my new Active Directory permissions reporting tool is now available to download. Read on for more details and a video of the tool in action.
AD Permissions Reporter Progress Update
As I’ve had quite a bit of interest in the Active Directory permissions reporting tool that has been listed on the “Future Projects” section of my website for some time, I thought I would just post some details on how it is going and when you can expect to see it being released.
NTFS Permissions Reporter 1.5 Released
This update includes a few features that a lot of people have been asking for, such as the ability to compare reports, export to a file format that can be loaded back in to the application at a later date, and full 64 bit support.
What do you want from an AD permissions reporting tool?
As mentioned in a previous post, I’m currently working on an Active Directory permissions reporting tool and I just wanted to get some feedback from you guys on which features you’d like me to make a priority for the first release.
