Boca Raton, FL – June 2, 2008 – ScriptLogic® Corporation, a leading provider of systems lifecycle management solutions for Microsoft® Windows®-based networks, today announced its Active Directory Management Solution, a bundled solution that combines Quest® ActiveRoles Server™ and Spotlight® on Active Directory with ScriptLogic’s just-released Active Administrator® 5.0. Together, these three solutions allow total management of the Active Directory lifecycle, thereby enhancing security, compliance and productivity. This new version of ScriptLogic’s flagship Active Directory administration solution, Active Administrator, provides enterprise-class performance and now offers enhanced usability and Active Directory auditing, as well as support for Microsoft Windows Server® 2008.
