Five signs your Active Directory needs a clean-up

Old accounts, broad permissions and forgotten policies make attacks easier and support harder.

Active Directory grows with the company, and without regular care it collects risk. These signs tell you it is time for a review.

  • Accounts of people who left years ago are still enabled
  • Too many users are members of Domain Admins
  • Nobody knows what half of the Group Policies do
  • File shares are open to “Everyone”
  • Replication or DNS errors appear in the logs and nobody looks

A clean-up removes unused accounts, applies least-privilege access, documents policies and fixes health issues, without disrupting users.
