Recently we migrated a customer to Office 365. Dirsync is enabled, so user management is done on-premise and changes are synced to O365. This all works fine, no complaints here. After the migration was completed we decommissioned the old Exchange 2007 server and all of it's roles, so no more Exchange servers are present in the AD.
The problem is that after Exchange was removed, so was EMC and this makes user management a lot more complex than it used to be, for example:
- Editing an alias
- Hide a User/group in GAL
- Change groups to receive mail from outside the organization
- etc
This all needs to be done from ADSI EDIT, which just isn’t a very user-friendly utility and making a mistake is a lot more likely. Are there any (3rd party) tools available to do this type of user management without using ADSI Edit?
