Summary
Unsortable and sets off antivirus applpications
iupetre
Pros
It looks nice. It's easy to use for polling users and computer from specific OUs
Cons
The setup file sets off some antivirus applications (McAfee, Avira, and AVG that I've seen).
The dates in the polled data is unsortable. It pulls dates as 01/01/2009, so 01/01/2008 will come right before 01/012009.
Summary
This program barely matches the functionality of other FREE AD querying tools.
