[Arbor] Provisioning accounts

[neonetman]

We are currently using Sims, and still use Capita's Active Directory Provisioning to create users, generate a pasword, and add them into the correct user groups (for email distributiuon lists etc.). This also allows us to automatically de-provision leaveers.

 

The school are currently lookign at a move to Arbor for it's MIS system, hwoever I'm aware that Arbor cannot provision accounts directly to on-prem AD.

 

Is anyone aware of an alternative solution to take data from Arbor and use it to provision accounts automatically on on-prem AD?

 

This is the one major thorn in the side of the IT department surrounding this move.

 

THanks in advance folks.

Yep, and their pricing hasn't changed for years. Surprised they've never put it up!

We've been looking at https://locker.co.uk/ for our Teams management (and putting student timetables in outlook). It can do end to end user management from your MIS.

Across our MAT we've used both, Salamander were much better in our experience - nothing is too much trouble.
