ActivMan
Active Directory automation, built on tools you already know
ActivMan is built on Microsoft's Active Directory Users MMC snap-in, enhanced with mass updates, templating, automated provisioning and direct MIS integration — trusted by schools, colleges and businesses.
What ActivMan does
- Import students and staff directly from your MIS
- Synchronise Active Directory with your MIS to remove manual data entry
- Automatically disable leavers to keep your directory secure
- Create home folders and shares with the correct permissions
- Apply templates and mass-edit users in seconds
- Run custom scripts triggered by user events
- Support users moving between sites on a single domain
Why choose ActivMan?
Manual account provisioning is slow and error-prone. ActivMan removes that burden: schools get full MIS-to-AD synchronisation, while businesses get templating and mass-update tools that cut routine admin down from hours to minutes. Development is driven directly by customer feedback — support suggestions are welcomed, and often implemented.
Supported MIS platforms
Arbor is our primary, most actively developed integration. It was recently upgraded to meet Arbor's latest security requirements and now runs dramatically faster — no longer limited by Arbor's request-per-minute cap, even for large multi-academy trusts. SIMS remains fully supported as a secondary focus while schools migrate across to Arbor.
