"IMO, Active Directory is one of the best product from Microsoft, since it's based on a well known standard like X.500 (aka LDAP) and it has a good interoperabilty (although it could be better, see all the problems Samba people had in the past). So, even if there are tools like PHPLdapAdmin which are pretty good, if you need to automate users and groups management, there's nothing better than a command line tool. Enter adtool."
