Product to let me create AD accounts based on HR records

[Marlon Brown]

Hi there,

We have 3,000+ users and high turn over. Are you using any system there that
allows HR employee records create and/or delete accounts on the fly in
active directory ? If you know a good product that can work as a plug-in and
let create/rename/delete AD Windows accounts based on HR data, please share
that info with me. Thanks.

Hello Marlon,
its not too hard to write applications against AD, like a web service or
another application.

Thanks. As a matter of fact I do have an .ASP/ADSI webform that I put
together and has been working fine to let HR create the account. HR just
needs to input user information upon hiring and the whole membership,
folder, permissions, etc get created on the back end side. The problem is
that during renaming operations that requires data entry input from HR and
I am afraid I have potential for confusion and too many data entry from HR
at that time. Moreover, I wanted to update the HR records using the method
that I mentioned in my previous e-mail: basically I want users to update
their information from a client webform and submit that information back to
AD and then refresh the HR database description and office fields. The HR
database is Informix and the whole system is based on Unix.

I am wondering if there is a plug-in that I could purchase to do that job...
or I should just suggest that the db is migrated to SQL and from there the
integration should be smoother for sure

Do you want to sync a SQL Database with Active Directory? and the HR
application writes to SQL, and SQL sync with AD, and update attributes in
AD, is that right?

I wish it was SQL. The problem is that the database is Informix, therefore I
would need to research queries able to write information from AD to the
Informix db. By the way, maybe this is a stupid quesiton, but since I have
BizTalk server setup here, I am wondering if that could help me setup a
triger to sync the information...
