Hi I need to start evaluated tools to administer our AD
users/groups etc but I don't want to give the helpdesk
access to either the AD Users and Computers MMC or a
custom version. Can anyone recommend some good 3rd party
tool sets?

Thanks in advance

Why are you reluctant to give the helpdesk ADUC or a customer version?
If you have delegated and secured the objects correctly then they should not
be able to do anything untoward.
Or is this a functionality issue with the ADUC tool ?

I think you want to use the Delegate Control Wizard do define rights for
your helpdesk.

80,000 user objects and specialised accounts requiring additonal
functionality is the simple answer. We do secure the AD but have a
requirement to only allow the HDesk viewable acces to the objects they
adminster. We currently give them a custoum ADUC with taskpads that call out
to in-house scripts. We need to get away from the scripts.
