New Workflow and Report Package Released
Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 10:36AM Today we announced the release of a new package of workflows and reports focused primarily on Active Directory user and group management (ADUC-style tasks). There were also many new reports for SharePoint permissions reporting (i.e. who has access to what) in addition to those for group membership change tracking, expired accounts, audit logging, and others.
A few of my favorite new features were the support for forced registration for password self-service reset, a password expiration notification workflow that allows nagging or even account inactivation, and enhancements to the deleted user and mailbox restore workflows.
Most of the workflows were based on specific customer requests and they were all created using BPM Studio which is our workflow design tool. This tool is a rapid Windows Workflow Foundation design environment that can be used by customers or anyone to create workflows just like those in the packages we announced today. We actually set a record internally where one workflow developer created 25 substantial new workflows in under two weeks.
The best part is that customers will receive the workflows and reports for the EmpowerID modules they own free of charge.
