NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) delivers secure and efficient privileged-identity administration of Microsoft Active Directory (AD). DRA performs granular delegation of “least privilege” so that administrators and users receive just the permissions needed to complete their specific responsibilities. DRA also enforces adherence to policy, provides detailed-activity auditing and reporting, and simplifies repetitive task completion with IT process automation. Each of these capabilities contributes to protecting your customers’ AD and Exchange environments from the risk of privilege escalation, errors, malicious activity, and regulatory non-compliance, while reducing administrator burden by granting self-service capabilities to users, business managers and Help Desk personnel.
DRA also extends the powerful features of Microsoft Exchange to provide seamless management of Exchange objects. Through a single, common user interface, DRA delivers policy-based administration for the management of mailboxes, public folders and distribution lists across your Microsoft Exchange environment.
DRA provides the solutions you need to control and manage your Microsoft Active Directory, Windows, Exchange, and Azure Active Directory environments.
