Managing user accounts in Active Directory

Managing Active Directory user accounts, particularly enabling and disabling them, is a common yet time-consuming task. When administrators rely on native Active Directory tools and PowerShell scripts to enable and disable Active Directory user accounts, the process becomes even more complex and tedious. This is why every administrator needs an effective Active Directory management tool. With ADManager Plus, an Active Directory management and reporting solution, administrators can instantly enable and disable Active Directory users with just a few clicks.

Enabling Active Directory users

In some cases, user accounts may be accidentally disabled during routine security checks, and this can affect overall business productivity. ADManager Plus allows you to manage disabled Active Directory users in bulk without using conventional Active Directory management tools like PowerShell or Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). You can simply upload a CSV file containing the list of disabled accounts and enable them all at once. Additionally, you can generate a list of disabled users from a specific domain or organizational unit (OU) and enable them directly from the report.

Disabling Active Directory users

Disabled Active Directory accounts are user accounts that have been deactivated, preventing the user from logging in or accessing any resource. These accounts, if not properly managed, can pose significant security threats despite being deactivated. ADManager Plus allows you to automatically disable Active Directory user accounts and oversee them with multi-level workflows. This ensures that user accounts are automatically disabled with stakehoder's approval, leaving no room for manual errors.

ADManager Plus also enables you to configure Active Directory cleanup automations to periodically discard dormant Active Directory accounts without any manual intervention.
