AD Phonebook takes the pain out of maintaining the company directory, it’s browser-based so can be accessed from mobile and desktop devices. The phone book data is read from Active Directory so it is always up to date, no out of date spreadsheets or printouts, no need to manually maintain a web page.
When you update the details for a user (or contact) in Active Directory the phone book is automatically updated. Why not allow your users to update their own contact details and correct error by using AD Self Update.
As it is based around Active Directory it is easily updated, when employee details are updated in Active Directory they’re updated in the phone book providing your users with the latest contact information. What is shown is based on your criteria, only users or contacts that you want to appear are listed. You can display attributes such as car parking space, employee number, manager etc.
Installation is easy and you can be up and running in minutes. You can customize the look and what data is shown to your users, you can enable exporting of the phone book to pdf or excel so a paper copy is still available if needed.
- No need to manually maintain your staff directory.
- No more out of date phone books.

More detailed information is shown when an entry is clicked, you can display values from almost any Active Directory attribute (extensionAttribute1, description, employeeID etc).

How long does it take to install the trial?
You can download a trial below, it takes 5 minutes to install and test on a Windows Server with IIS installed and ASP.NET 4 or higher enabled.
Importing users into Active Directory (CSV, Excel)
The import file can be formatted using the CSV (comma separated value) format or Excel XLS and XLSX.
The column headers in your file (CSV,XLS,XLSX) should contain the name of the Active Directory Attribute you want to add the data to. A list of column headers/attributes can be found below. The columns can be in any order and the column headers are not case sensitive but obviously must be spelt correctly for the program to recognize them, if it comes across a column it doesn’t recognize it will ignore that column.
In the example shown below I’m using Excel to construct the file and using wildcards to speed up the creation of the file. The first row (1) contains the column headers, these are the attribute names such as givenName (first name). You don’t need to use all the attributes names just those you need, the minimum required to create a new users are shown below. This example file would create 5 new users.

Has been a real time saver!
“Although a user of AD Bulk Users (and the other tools) for some time now, I have only just harnessed the power of the scheduler part of the system. Previously I thought the software was superb, but this feature takes it to another level, saving us even more time than before..”
