Hold on !

Funny you should mention that...

I've been communicating off-line (email) with a nice chap named Ivan that has some of the same ideas (not sure if he's posted here yet or not -Ivan- are you there ?)

His plan is to create an Excel spreadsheet of domain work (ie, new users, groups, group assignments, shares, etc) - convert the spreadsheet to a CSV file - then automagically process the changes with a KiX/ADSI script.

The idea being that someone without Windows NT Admin skills or priviledges (say - a company clerk or secretary) can gather the information in Excel, than either process the changes themselves or hand it off to a domain admin.

With the KiX/ADSI script in place, and a cleverly crafted spreadsheet, the domain admin could be back to eating donuts within minutes.

Plus, off-loading the administrative aspects of domain administration to someone skilled in administration (whew) is maybe a good thing !?

Have you done any rough design work or have any other thoughts on this subject ? Anyone ?

Shawn.
