AD Control is a mobile tool for administrators that lets you manage core Active Directory objects from an Android device. The app connects directly to a domain controller via LDAP or LDAPS, helping you perform everyday tasks without a remote desktop connection or running Windows snap-ins.
The app is designed to run on your organization's local network or over a VPN connection. No server is required: simply specify the domain controller, port, Base DN, and an account with the required permissions.

The interface is designed for quick administration from a phone: compact lists, a side menu, object cards, pop-up selection windows, user and group search, and directory hierarchy browsing. The main page displays the server connection status, key directory metrics, and quick information about the current profile.
The application does not require installing agents or additional components on the server. All actions are performed through standard Active Directory mechanisms accessible via LDAP/LDAPS. For some operations, such as password resets, to function correctly, it is recommended to use a secure LDAPS connection on port 636.
AD Control is useful for system administrators, helpdesk specialists, and anyone who needs to quickly perform common actions with AD users and groups directly from a phone. Without the ritual launch of RDP on a small screen, because human fingers were not created for torment in MMC.
