What does it mean when an Active Directory object is disabled?

< 1 min read

When an Active Directory object is disabled, it means that the object cannot be used and its services and credentials are inaccessible. A disabled object may still exist in the directory, but it is no longer active.


To understand the full implications of an object that is disabled, consider the following steps:

  1. Understand the hierarchy of the network
  2. Understand the different types of objects in the Active Directory
  3. Determine the types of objects that can be disabled
  4. Identify the impact and implications of the disabled objects
  5. Devise a plan to ensure that the disabled objects do not become a security risk
