Active Directory user account status reports

One of every Windows administrator's key responsibilities is managing Active Directory (AD) user accounts. Besides giving employees access to their organization's network, administrators also grant users access to resources and information by assigning appropriate permissions and software licenses. Any hiccups in managing Active Directory user accounts could not only shut down access for employees, but could also create holes in the organization's security and escalate IT costs.

To prevent these mishaps, administrators must accurately manage the Active Directory user accounts in their organization. To do this, administrators need to know the user account status such as which user accounts have expired, which are about to expire, which users have recently logged on, and which users have never logged on. Microsoft's tools Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC) and PowerShell make Active Directory reporting cumbersome and time-consuming. A simple and more powerful alternative is ManageEngine's ADManager Plus, a user account status reporting tool.

Get Active Directory user account status reports from ADManager Plus

ADManager Plus offers over 200 prepackaged reports that fetch intricate details from AD, Office 365, and Exchange environments, including status-based details for user accounts such as:

• Enabled or disabled user accounts
• Locked out users
• Expired users
• Recently expired user accounts
• Soon-to-expire user accounts
• User accounts that never expire
• Smart-card-enabled users

Enabled or disabled user accounts

Find all the enabled or disabled user accounts in AD. From these reports, administrators can easily enable, disable, move, or delete user accounts as needed or as per their company's policies.

Locked out user accounts

Get reports of all Active Directory users whose accounts have been locked out after a specified number of bad login attempts configured in the account lockout policy.

Expired users

Identify all the users whose accounts have expired in a particular domain. You can export the details of users with expired accounts in multiple formats like CSV, HTML, PDF, and EXCEL.

Recently expired user accounts

View all the user accounts that have expired during any specified period of time. Based on the organization's policy or the current need, administrators can delete these user accounts, disable them, move them to a specific organizational unit (OU) where expired accounts are held, or change the account expiration date to "never," all from within the report. This report also helps administrators identify expired accounts and free up licenses to save costs.

Soon-to-expire user accounts

Find all the users whose accounts will expire in the next N days, weeks, or months. Administrators can prevent their employees from being denied access to their domain by proactively changing their account expiration date to "never." Besides ensuring users have uninterrupted access to organizational resources, it also helps administrators avoid frantic help desk calls from users.

Users accounts that never expire

Identify all user accounts that have the "account never expires" option enabled for passwords. As this report also displays the account status, administrators can enable disabled accounts right from the report. If needed, they can also disable or delete any account in the list using the report's built-in management options.

Smart-card-enabled users

View a report detailing all the users in the domain with smart card login permissions enabled.

ADManager Plus also offers a built-in report scheduler that can be used to automatically generate and email AD reports to desired users in any format, including XLS, PDF, CSV, or HTML.
