About Active Directory Explorer - Sysinternals
Active Directory Explorer (AD Explorer) is an advanced Active Directory (AD) viewer and editor. You can use AD Explorer
to easily navigate an AD database, define favorite locations, view object properties and attributes without having to
open dialog boxes, edit permissions, view an object's schema, and execute sophisticated searches that you can save and
re-execute.
AD Explorer also includes the ability to save snapshots of an AD database for off-line viewing and comparisons. When
you load a saved snapshot, you can navigate and explore it as you would a live database. If you have two snapshots of
an AD database you can use AD Explorer's comparison functionality to see what objects, attributes and security
permissions changed between them.
