I need to setup some user managers by workgroups. Does the "Managed By" tab in the AD Group definition actually do anything?

The only function these managers should have is to be able to reset passwords for their users.

I'm aware of creating OU's, and then using the Delegating Control Wizard.

Are there any other options?
What is the best way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

You want to right click on the OU that these people need to reset password's for then go to delegate control.

The wizzard will come up - hit next then add the users you want to give control to. Now select reset password from the list. Click finish.

Now these users have permissions. You need to install the admin tools locally on their pc's - find adminpak.msi on the Win2k disk.

You can create a customized mmc console for them that just shows them their OU. You can also create a Task pad that lets them easily reset passwords.

good luck
