I spent hours trying to research ways of automating user creation through AD, Exchange, and Lync. It would take us 30 mins at times to enable/create a single user in between help desk calls. Most of the solutions I found were overpriced and still left needs unanswered. Terms were a nightmare as we had user accounts still left in active locations within AD. I came across Z-Hire and Z-term through Technet and thought it was too good to be true. I downloaded the software and configured within an hour. Our first “test” hire took 45 secs to create accounts for AD, Exchange, and Lync. This has not only saved us unnecessary labor cost, it helped prevent an IT revolt.
