Oh I don't disagree. Adfind, admod, oldcomp, and a SQL Server and Excel were the only tools I used and I generated reports about hundreds of thousands if not millions of objects... I actually did also use the Mailbox info VBScript I posted on my blog as well, but none of that expensive fancy per user object GUI stuff.
