Chan­ges to ver­si­on 2.1

In ver­si­on 2.1 First­Wa­re offers some new attri­bu­tes for your Acti­ve Direc­to­ry administration.

User manage­ment: Office attribute

Office attri­bu­te

By some requests, we deci­ded to add the office attri­bu­te to the user form.

You can also dele­ga­te the main­ten­an­ce of the office attri­bu­te to non IT staff. Go to the Con­fig tab and check the office attri­bu­te under “Self edita­ble attri­bu­tes” to let users edit it in self service.

If you have fur­ther ide­as for AD user manage­ment or your AD phonebook, we look for­ward to your message.

Group manage­ment: Notes, Mail, Mana­ger attributes

The pre­vious attri­bu­tes com­pa­ny, depart­ment, and loca­ti­on were repla­ced. The rea­son is that the­se attri­bu­tes are not avail­ab­le in the default sche­ma of a Win­dows Ser­ver 2012 Acti­ve Direc­to­ry. They will be added with the instal­la­ti­on of Micro­soft Exchange.

Notes

This attri­bu­te allows you to make descrip­ti­ons of the group. Alter­na­tively, you can use the field to enter a path or fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on. This can be use­ful for other applications.

Mail

Set a groups email address. This might be use­ful if the group is used as a mai­ling list.

Mana­ger

With the “Mana­ged By” attri­bu­te you spe­ci­fy who is respon­si­ble for the group.

Note: The search for the mana­ger must con­tain the full name. It is a lin­ked attri­bu­te. For this rea­son, sear­ching for the mana­ger using wild­cards (*) is not pos­si­ble.
