Two best iT administrator friends

Hyena - very convenient tool for managing Active Directory and not TOO expensive too.

BatchPatch - very usable and well created tool for actively managing WSUS and for a bunch of other uses with or without Active Directory.

Hyena + BatchPatch + Excel = Super-tool for nearly every need. If you have used PowerShell for your administrative needs it is very possible that you may forget about using it... for about 90%.
