Ideal Administration will simplify the administration of Windows networks by integrating all functionalities needed to manage user accounts, servers and domains.

The product allows remote control of your Windows systems, including user password migration between NT/2000 domains, TSE & Exchange (5.5 & 2000) management, Active Directory management (OU, Windows 2000 groups, Windows 2000 user properties)and management of trusted relationships.

It also allows to create or modify NT services/devices on several computers at once as well as transfer between servers, computers, groups, users, shares and printers.

Additional features include database recording of user properties, groups and shared folders, daily recording of sessions and opened files, command line operation and more.

Ideal Administration looks very similar to the Windows 2000 "Manage Computer" MSC and provides access to almost all administrative functions for the entire domain from a single, easy to use interface.
