Fast, native Windows Active Directory management for IT professionals. Bulk user operations, real-time lockout monitoring, password resets, group management & HTML reports. Free trial, then $29.99 one-time license — no subscription. 7-day money-back guarantee.

AD Manager exists because I got tired of my own workflow. If you've ever managed Active Directory, you know the drill: a user calls the help desk locked out, you dig through event logs to find out why, open ADUC (an interface that hasn't changed since the 90s), unlock them one by one, then write a PowerShell script for anything involving more than 5 accounts. Repeat daily. So I built the tool I wanted on my own machine: ⚡ Bulk operations — unlock/enable/disable hundreds of accounts in one click 🔍 Instant search across 10,000+ user directories 🚨 Lockout radar — see locked accounts in real time, before the phone rings 📊 Login analytics — spot brute-force patterns and export HTML reports for audits A few decisions I care about: Native C++ / Qt 6 — no Electron, ~100MB RAM, portable .exe you can run from a USB stick 100% local — connects directly to your DC over LDAP/LDAPS, credentials encrypted with DPAPI, nothing ever touches the cloud $29.99 one-time — I refuse to make sysadmins pay $500+/year subscriptions for what should be a utility. Pay once, own it.

honestly really appreciate that it ships as a native Windows app instead of some web wrapper, feels snappy when running bulk user operations and the lockout monitoring actually updates in real time.

@rae_hobbes Thanks Koral!

Out of curiosity, what size directory are you running it against? Always looking for real-world numbers on how search and bulk ops hold up at scale.
