Testimonial

Excellent Timesaver: the time needed for day to day tedious user administrative tasks is now free for serious admin work. You can get it up & running in as little as a few days, and if you want more: it´s there! LDAP/OLE DB/ODBC: all the interfaces you will need to create a user on any system you might have. You don´t need any real scripting or programming experience: you will grasp it within the hour. Also it´s absolutely vital when reorganising big departments: Gone are the many days of scripting, It´s now all done with a few clicks of a mouse. Great tool.

Besides the LDAP script actions, the wizard project scripts contain a lot of other UMRA actions that are used to make the wizard more user-friendly. The wizard can be extended in many ways to improve the functionality.

The wizard contains 2 screens: The first screen is used to select a user account.
