Specops Active Directory Janitor
Automates discovery and cleanup of inactive AD users, computers and groups.
Specops Active Directory Janitor — find and remediate stale users, computers and groups in Active Directory
Active Directory estates accumulate inactive accounts, orphaned computer objects and unused groups. Those objects make routine tasks like audits and access reviews harder. Left unattended they increase management overhead and raise the chance of unwanted access.
Specops Active Directory Janitor finds stale users, computers and groups and provides reporting plus configurable actions. Teams can schedule scans, review results and apply automated disables or deletes. The tool helps shrink noisy directories and reduce manual effort while letting administrators tune rules to local retention or compliance requirements.
How organisations typically use Specops Active Directory Janitor
Run scheduled hygiene scans across one or more domains to identify long‑inactive user and computer objects, then automate disabling where retention rules allow. Use generated reports to support internal reviews and prove cleanup activity.
Apply targeted clean-up during consolidation or migration projects to remove obsolete accounts before changes go live. Use rule-based actions to limit risk and avoid mass deletions while reducing post-migration housekeeping.
Where this product best fits
Fits organisations with on-premises Microsoft Active Directory, especially those managing large or multi-domain estates and hybrid Azure AD setups. It is useful where AD scale or complexity makes manual clean-up impractical.
Also suits organisations under regulatory or compliance pressure that need demonstrable directory hygiene and repeatable clean-up processes.
