Lepide Active Directory Cleaner, a boon to enhance IT Security


Inactive user and computer accounts are considered as threats for IT security of an organization. These obsolete AD accounts can be easily used by hackers or uninvited users to access the organization’s network. Once their access is auto-authorized through the backdoor of an inactive user account, the hacker can steal the precious data stored on the server and/or will have the ability to crash down the Windows Server resulting in downtimes or permanent operation failure.

To be on the safe side, it is advised to track and disable or remove the inactive user and computer accounts. However, the Administrator will face a big challenge to do so in a large organization having thousands of users. It will be quite complicated to find out which user or computer account is inactive in a pool of thousand users.
