AD tools

Just curious, besides the existing Active directory tools, anyone else 3rd party tools ? I know there are some, but just wondering if anyone actually used them to manage their domain.. thanks
 
The parent domain we fall under uses Quest ActiveRoles, so we used their web interface or the dedicated client most of the time. From my understanding (as I just used it and didn't install it), AR can allow more granular control of permissions for modifying Active Directory, and provides better stats/change management features. But really it's just a glorified LDAP front end if you're not utilizing it's other features.

Though I also used my fair share of PowerShell and standard ADUC. ActiveRoles has some really, really nice PowerShell cmdlets for AD interfacing that'll work even on a non-ActiveRoles domain.
