AD Help Desk allows secure administrator of Microsoft's Active Directory from your iOS device. This application will work “Out of the box”, requiring absolutely no modifications to your Active Directory infrastructure. The only requirement is that you have connectivity to your domain from your iOS device (often times requiring a VPN if you are not on an internal network). AD Help Desk is 100% secure. All traffic between the domain controller and the iOS device is encrypted. AD Help Desk strives to give you the ease of ADUC or ADAC and the power of ADSI. With AD Help Desk you can: -Create, delete, move or rename ANY object in the directory. -Edit any non-binary attribute of ANY object in the directory (including exchange attributes). -Reset passwords or unlock user accounts in seconds. -Perform administrative tasks across domain boundaries. -Perform just about any task you might want to perform that involves Active Directory. AD HelpDesk is aware of any schema extensions that you may have made in your domain. This means that you truly can create or edit ANY object regardless of whether the object type is a custom object, or a stock object type (like user, group, computer, etc). AD HelpDesk is THE native iPad or iPhone touch interface for Active Directory. Once you start using AD HelpDesk, it will quickly become your preferred way of administering your Active Directory domain.
Is this a broke for the IPAD?
Any Search kicks you right out of the app. 15.2
Unusable in iPadOS 15
Crashes when searching for a user in iPadOS 15. Now unusable. I tried to report this to the developer privately, but wasn’t successful in doing so.
Would be great to have this verified for security purposes
The lack of disclosed privacy details is cause for concern. Getting access to the AD of an organization without disclosure of information use is a significant breach potential. With today’s atmosphere of cyber security needs an app must be better than “no details provided”.
App Stopped Working
App just stopped working. When I contacted support I was informed that the company got bought out and app is no longer supported. Don’t waste your time or money.
This app is UNDER-Rated
I have used this app for years over native VPN and it is the best app in the App Store for SysAdmins to make changes to AD objects, with NO need for any agent on domain controllers. This app should be #1 and Apple recommended.
Good on the go
Everything works great, Easy to reset passwords and unlock accounts while not at my desk
Works, kind of, in a pinch
Crashes constantly, unintuitive process to reset to a different password than the default reset password
Fixes for crashes introduced by iOS11
