DSREVOKE can document (/report) the delegations to domain objects and OU's
and also "revoke" them (genrally).

It's not a "wizard" by any means, unless you compare it to searching and
documenting by hand.

Spin,

In addition to what PaulW has stated....

Please note that if you do use the Delegation Wizard there is really
no place where you can look to see what things you have changed other
than the objects themselves. In other words, there is no 'report'
that is created when you use the Delegation Wizard. You will really
need to document this so that you will know exactly who (better to
use groups than user account objects) has been given what!

Excellent point, Cary.

I would like to add, there is no "undelegate" wizard. So if a delegated
user were to change their job and were to be moved to a different OU,
(assuming the delegated user was picked out of the OU they are to
delegate), their permissions still remain and they can still alter
objects. One would need to go into the Security tab of the OU (Adv View)
to manually remove them.

Just an FYI, when I demo delegations in a classroom setting by picking a
user in a specific OU, I would then move the delegated user to a
different OU. I will then ask the class if the delegated user I just
moved still has control in the OU I just moved them from. Surprisingly,
about 75% or more think they no longer have permissions to that OU
because I moved them, and the class usually consists of current AD
network administrators or IT managers.
