How to enable HR to create AD accounts

In many companies, the Active Directory User Management is stillcarried out by the IT department. For creating new useraccounts people ask the IT admin.

But the IT department gets the information of a new employeevery late. Usually the HR department already has allrequired information to create a new user account. Ingeneral, the HR department is not able to create a user account inActive Directory because the staff lacks the necessary technicalbackground.

Common scenario

1. HR collects all information of the new employee
2. HR asks IT to create AD accounts
3. IT creates AD account
4. IT sends information to HR that account is created
5. Employee can start working
