Clone Security Groups and Email Distribution Lists
Occasionally, IT administrators need to create a security or email distribution groups with a large number of members. Manually typing in each entry can be tedious and time-consuming. Scripts are error prone and not much better. There has to be faster, more efficient way. This is especially true in merger and acquisition scenarios where one company desires to bring all the existing groups under new management.
Ensim Unify enables IT administrators to create an exact duplicate or clone of an existing group in the target system quickly and easily. Cloning has turned group/list management projects that were taking months into a few days. In addition to the considerable time saved creating the new groups, it also eliminated the need for IT to validate the newly created list.
Let’s look at the acquisition scenario described earlier and consider what happens when the company being acquired does not adhere to the acquiring company’s IT policies. (Like that ever happens…)
In that scenario, the administrator simply clones the groups and distribution lists from the acquired company under its own policies – it happens automatically in the cloning process. When the cloning process is complete, the old groups from the acquired companies can simply be deleted. Problem solved.
