bother for Exchange Server administrators. A variety of
techniques allow users to update their own details, using ADSI
and CDO techniques..
IMI GAL Modify is a small utility for Exchange Admin to modify the Mailbox attributes on MS Exchange Server 5.5. Works on MS Windows 95/98/Me, allowing the admin to modify the mailboxes from a desktop machine.
Profiler gives the typical end user the ability to update their directory information (telephone number, office location etc) using their browser. Supports password management. Reset Passwords with security questions. Updating membership of Groups and Distribution lists are supported. Because the software is web based, deploying the solution is as easy as giving your users the correct URL or adding a link to your intranet.

Account Central decreases the administrative burden on key IT personnel by allowing secretaries, supervisors or other authorized personnel to update select portions of the Active Directory. Authorized personnel can automatically email a whole distribution list allowing users to view and update their information with Account Central.
Directory Assistant allows users to modify their directory information. To facilitate ease of setup, the existing "mailbox template" is used as the foundation for customizing Directory Assistant. Directory Assistant can be also configured differently for specific groups of users - enabling system administrators to provide variable levels of authority or approval for changes. Automate the updating by setting up reminders to ensure clients update their information at regular intervals. Clients can update their information using their web browser.
Directory Online is a collection of .Net powered web pages giving users browser access to the Active Directory address list (GAL). People can search the directory, view contact and address details and edit their own details. Directory Online also acts as an online phone book for your organization.
