Key Features
Cleanup Active Directory with this easy-to-use GUI Tool
Save hours of work and increase the security of your domain by automating the cleanup of Active Directory.
Quickly find inactive user and computer accounts that can lead to vulnerabilities in your network.
Active Directory Cleanup
Attackers can use inactive accounts to try and hack into an organization. It is important to find these inactive accounts and disable them on a routine maintenance schedule. This tool can quickly find inactive accounts and lets you take action on them.
Inactive Computers
Quickly find inactive computers in your domain. Inactive computer objects can store sensitive data that hackers can use and gain access to other critical systems.
Identify Unused Accounts
You might be surprised at how many user accounts have never been used. This tool will easily display all accounts that have no logon activity. Carefully review these accounts and take action on them such as bulk moving to another OU or bulk disabling.
Improve AD Security
The AD Cleanup Tool will help reduce security risks by finding stale AD objects that hackers or bad actors can use to gain unauthorized access to your networks.
Bulk Move & Disable
A safe first step to cleaning up inactive accounts is to move them into another organizational unit. The Active Directory cleanup tool makes this easy. Just select the OU and all the selected accounts will be moved.
Find Empty Groups
Find all Active Directory groups that have no members. This is a task most administrators don’t think to do because it’s hard to do unless you have the right tools.
“Our Active Directory was a huge mess. We used the AD Cleanup tool to find unused computer accounts and disabled them. We started with over 900 computers and found 300+ inactive accounts.”
Brian Stillwell – Sr. System Administrator

How do I find unused groups?
You can select the filter button and choose groups without members. This will show you all the groups that have no members. This is not the same as unused groups, you would need to scan your entire network to determine if a group is in use or not.
Can I schedule the cleanup of old accounts?
