Introduction:

Aktiv is a file manager like Windows Explorer, but aimed at people who administer Active Directory. It can (in most cases) completely replace Explorer, and the AD Users and Computers, DFS and Computer Management snapins for MMC. Everything is done by either double-clicking, or right clicking, and has more intelligent workflow than the traditional methods of AD administration. It should be fairly intuitive to use for anybody who understands AD administration.


Basic Folder Access Administration:
Browse to the folder, either right-click>properties, or enter the folder and click the "P" button
use the filter boxes to select the correct group by permissions and/or domain
double-click the group Use the add/remove/members tabs to add/remove or report on the group AD User and Group administration: The "Search AD" tab can be used to search for users, groups and computers. Double-click on the entry you wish to open. All of the object windows should fairly self explanatory.
