Techplus, has brought on management products from Toronto-based vendor, Specops, in a bid to expand its software portfolio.
The distributor will have access to the full software range and has just announced the availability of Specops Virtual Deploy, a Group Policy extension tool that allows administrators to manage Microsoft App-V virtual applications.
Specops provides a range of products allowing organisations to manage and interact with all Microsoft-based server environments through Active Directory or Group Policy platform. Techplus managing director, Paul Kern, said it was Specop’s first local channel partner.
“They have sold products in Australia to some of the larger government departments and multinationals for many years,” he said. “Customers could go online and buy it. But they’ve never been through the channel, or proactively sold products here before.”
Kern said the products were suitable for any organisation – small or large – running Microsoft servers, and claimed they were straightforward to use.
“The core differentiation against other vendors who provide these kinds of products is that users can manage everything through Active Directory – it’s just not an application on top, but a fully integrated solution,” he said.
Specop’s software tools are available for a one-off licence fee. Users can then choose to subscribe to an annual maintenance and support package.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for sharing your insightful thoughts and suggestions - very helpful, and appreciated indeed.
On a related note, thought I'd let you know about a very cool new FREE tool called Gold Finger that we have become addicted to it, especially, finding out where all users have permissions in our Active Directory. (We came across it on ActiveDirSec.com.)
Gold Finger is an instantly deployable Microsoft endorsed Active Directory reporting tool that offers over 200 security reports (including powerful ACL analysis) for FREE.
It is developed by a Microsoft partner called Paramount Defenses Inc, and I believe was architected by the author of Microsoft's delegation whitepaper.
DOWNLOAD LINK: You can download it from http://www.paramountdefenses.com/goldfinger.php.
We've been using it for the past two weeks now and love it! If you need a free way to generate AD security reports, you'll certainly find it very helpful.
Best wishes,
Jonathan
Excellent, this article explain the process to delegate the right to unlock locked user accounts in Active Directory. I have seen good information from http://www.lepide.com/active-directory-self-service/ which provides the facilitate to end user to unlock locked AD account and keep updated latest information of accounts. It provides the complete report on user status. It allows administrator to create strong passwords for user accounts and also add the security policies to unlock domain accounts. This tool authorizes co-workers to recover password of the locked account without calling administrator or manager for help.
