There is a documented mechanism to extend such things. Some 3rd part
tools do it although definitely not Fazaam as I have used it and it's
successor, GPA,  for many many years.

Extending the Active Directory Users and Computers Snap-in

You can use Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to create extension
snap-ins that extend the namespace, context menus, property pages,
control bars, toolbars, and taskpads of other snap-ins. The Active
Directory Users and Computers snap-in can be extended by extension
snap-ins.

This document provides the Steps required to create MMC context menu and
property sheet extension snap-ins. For more information about creating
other extension types, see Extending the User Interface for Directory
Objects <http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms676902(VS.85).aspx> .

Readers of this document should already be familiar with the information
presented in Extending the Active Directory Administrative Snap-ins
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa814680(VS.85).aspx> .

Subject: MMC add-on

 

Hi Folks,

 

I seem to remember a few years back at another job, I had an "add-on" to
MMC.  I don't recall if it was free or not, don't think it was Fazam.
It allowed remote tools to the PC/User from ADUC, and allows us to look
at PC/server logs from MMC.  The remote tool would be nice since not
everyone has access to Configuration Manager here.

 

Any ideas?
