M-AD

Active Directory for Mac teams

Browse, manage, review security, troubleshoot, and report on Active Directory from macOS with a native app built for daily directory operations.

No Byldya account required

M-AD does not require a Byldya.com account, and Byldya does not store personal app records or directory data on Byldya.com.

Active Directory Workflows, Native on macOS

M-AD gives Mac-based administrators a practical alternative for common ADUC workflows, connection checks, security review, and support-ready handoff reports.

Directory Browser

Browse users, groups, computers, contacts, OUs, containers, and domain roots from a Mac-first interface.

Guarded Management

Create, edit, move, rename, delete, reset passwords, unlock users, and manage membership when permissions allow.

Security Review

Inspect permissions, auditing, ownership, inheritance, effective access, and local security descriptor backups.

Diagnostics and Reports

Check DNS, reachability, LDAPS/TLS, bind readiness, Kerberos, policy, GPOs, DC health, replication, SPNs, and delegation.

Manage AD From macOS

Use a native Mac interface to browse domain structure, inspect object properties, create and edit common AD objects, reset and unlock accounts, move or rename supported objects, and manage membership.

LDAP, LDAPS, password, and Kerberos-oriented connection profiles.
Read-only demo directory for evaluation, training, and screenshots.
Permission-limited sessions stay useful for browsing and reports.

Review Directory Security

Open security descriptor tooling from a selected object to review permissions, owner information, auditing, effective access, inherited entries, and privilege-audit coverage.

Guarded changes for explicit permissions, auditing, and ownership where delegated rights allow.
Local backups before sensitive security writes.
Compare, restore, and export flows for operator handoffs.

Diagnose Before You Connect

The Troubleshooting Center helps separate DNS, routing, certificate, bind, Kerberos, and permission problems before operators lose time chasing the wrong layer.

Domain controller discovery and manual server targeting.
LDAPS/TLS and certificate trust guidance.
Kerberos ticket state and authentication readiness checks.

Report With Confidence

Generate operator-friendly reports for password policy, lockout investigations, GPO inventory, domain-controller health, replication topology, SPNs, delegation, audit activity, environment summaries, and handoffs.

Copy reports for quick collaboration.
Export reports for ticket attachments and handover notes.
Warnings call out unreadable or unreachable sections.

Built For Safer Operations

Local Privacy Posture

Credentials stay in macOS Keychain, diagnostics are exported locally, and connection profile exports omit passwords, Keychain references, and certificate-bypass state.

Required Confirmation

Destructive delete, sensitive security descriptor writes, and other high-impact actions require explicit operator confirmation.

Demo and Read-only Modes

Demo mode is read-only, and live sessions with missing write permissions remain useful for browse, search, diagnostics, and reporting.
