GroupID 9 and 10 - Reports
Business Scenario:
We want to install the GroupID Reports module as a free tool. We are not licensed for GroupID, so is there a way we can use this module?
Overview:
GroupID Reports is a free tool with a number of useful reports for Active Directory. GroupID Reports empowers administrators to analyze and monitor Active Directory and Exchange server activities, and collect statistical information about critical objects, thus enabling you to have an up-to-date picture of your directories and servers.
The Reports module primarily focuses on groups and distribution lists, allowing administrators to view their members, owners, last modified time, and more. It also enables them to view a list of all users, workstations, and domain controllers with their operating systems within an organization. You can also customize the format, scope, and layout of reports according to your requirement.
