I want a tool that can be used to create reports based on Active Directory. Actually, I am looking to create a printer company contact list using the Name, Address, Phone, etc; that is currently contained in Active Directory. Is there anyone who can recommend such software that will let me do this? Thanks.
You can try to use the LDIFDE to export Ad objects, check the below article for instance:

When you will test it a bit and work with it, then you will see that you can extract a lot of information and importing it into Excel sheets.
I will recommend you to try out ADManager Plus -Active Directory Management and Reporting Software. It provides you with comprehensive reports on all your Active Directory Infrastructure objects. The reports can also be scheduled to your convenience. check out the software with a free download.
DSRAZOR for Windows is very suited for this task.
Without knowing any scripting, you can get the report you described right
out of the box.
You can also schedule it to run on a regular basis and output its results in
an export.
DSRAZOR would also allow you to delegate a customized applet. It would look
like an easy-to-use form that you could give someone in your company that
has no IT training. You could then allow them export the information right
out of Active Directory anytime they wanted. It will always be up-to-date
and you don't need to give them special permissions to run it.
Actually, you can also create a customized interface to allow people in your
company to update name, address, phone, etc. Again, its a form-based
interface that you customize. End users can feel comfortable updating the
information. They don't even have to "understand" that they are editing
Active Directory. And you don't have to worry that they're going to break
something or access attributes you don't want them to access. Also, all
DSRAZOR activity is logged so that you can see what changes are made.
Active Directory Plus, which you can download at vision-it, allows you to generate reports with any attribute of choice and save the data to txt, excel, or directly to a printer.
