SmartGroups – Dynamically maintain Distribution and Security groups
A powerful, yet easy to use, query designer allows you to manage groups dynamically by setting the query just once. An actual group is created in AD and maintained by GroupID Automate. The query designer allows for extremely complex queries in a simple to understand format.
Flexible Dynasties – Create the most common groups in just a few clicks
Dynasties take the complexity out of the most common distribution and security groups. A Dynasty automatically creates groups based on the most common criteria (manager, department, location, etc.) for example, a location Dynasty will create lists for region, country, state, city and office location. The flexibility of Dynasties allows you to name the individual lists based on any field within Active Directory.
Imported Source queries
When data is stored in sources that are outside of Active Directory, GroupID Automate can query those sources AND Active Directory. A Smartgroup query can contain multiple fields from sources outside of Active Directory, creating a very flexible robust system. The external data sources include CSV files, Text files, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, LDAP, SunONE iPlanet, and any ODBC compliant Data Source.
Group Usage Service
Need tools to manage your existing groups? Group Usage Service has now been integrated into GroupID Automate. Group Usage Service monitors when mail is sent to a group, and updates the timestamp on the group. Use GroupID Reports to view your unused groups. Take it to the next step and expire or delete the group in GroupID’s MMC.
Powershell Extensibility
Everything that GroupID Automate does has an equivalent powershell command. This allows you to programmatically extend GroupID Automate into existing processes.
Transfer Ownership Wizard
Need to change the ownership of all the groups a user owns? No problem, the Transfer Ownership Wizard allows you to transfer ownership of all groups owned by one user to another, in one step. Simply enter and individual's name into the field and the Wizard will locate all the groups they are in as well as all the groups they own. Simply select the specific groups that need to have a new owner assigned, pick the new owner(s) and automatically, the Transfer Ownership Wizard will make the changes for you!
Password Expiration Notification
Notify users via email that their password is about to expire. Using a simple wizard in the query designer, GroupID Automate will create a list of accounts with expiring passwords and send reminders to update.
