Automate account unlocks for Active Directory users

Don't underestimate the backlash from Active Directory (AD) users who get locked out due to expired passwords. Frequently, a locked out account is all that's stopping a user from accessing the required information at the right time.

For instance, take the case of locked out AD accounts in the education sector. When students forget to change their Windows domain passwords before they expire, they get locked out of their workstation. Because the password expiration date for the entire class is usually the same, the campus' IT admin needs to identify a way to quickly unlock the accounts of the entire class.

Wouldn't it be great if admins could enable automatic unlock for domain users? ADSelfService Plus helps solve this challenge by enabling admins to automate AD user account unlock.

In addition to AD, ADSelfService Plus also supports automated account unlock in Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS), 389 Directory Server, Dynamics CRM, HP-UX, AS400, MS SQL, Office 365, Oracle DB, Oracle EBS, SAP NetWeaver, Service Now, OpenLDAP, G Suite, and Salesforce.

Schedule automatic unlock for AD accounts

ADSelfService Plus supports account unlock schedulers that automatically run at specific time intervals. When the scheduler is triggered at the set time, it searches for locked out user accounts in the entire domain, generates a report, and automatically unlocks all the AD accounts. After a successful automated account unlock action, the user will be notified via SMS or email.

ADSelfService Plus supports organizational unit (OU) and group-based policy enforcement. IT admins can configure schedulers to check for locked out user accounts in specific OUs or groups, and automatically unlock accounts for those users. IT admins can also configure a similar scheduler for users with expired passwords and passwords that are about to expire.
