Build custom reports?

Question

We have many reports that we currently run as large powershell scripts. These reports are compiled as CSV and sent off in emails or HTML tables inside of emails.

We ultimately do lots of user counting:
# of disabled users in domain
# of users with a mailbox
# of users with a certain text string in the description field
# of users in a certain security group

We were hoping Adaxes would let us integrate these reports into the Web Interface?

If that is not possible, is there a way to use the built in Adaxes queries to create "reports" via email?

For example, can I get a user count of all users in a specific group and send that via email?

Ideally, this would be a scheduled task.

PS: I should mention that we are looking at trying to get away from powershell and use built in Adaxes queries whenever possible. This cuts out a lot of time.

Thank you.

Update 2018

Starting with Adaxes 2018.1, it is possible to have custom reports in Adaxes. For details on creating reports, have a look at the following tutorial: https://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_ActiveDirectoryManagement_CreateReport.htm.

Hello,

In the next version, we are going to greatly improve our Reports feature. In particular, it will be possible to build custom reports using the GUI, schedule reports and send reports by e-mail. All the reports that you mentioned will be possible.

For now, all of this is also possible, but you'll need to use PowerShell scripts. For an sample of a PowerShell script that builds a report and sends it to a certain recipient, see Example 4 under Script Examples. To Schedule such a script, you can use a Scheduled Task that executes the Run a program or PowerShell script action.

Did this ever happen or has it been pushed back into a later release?
