ADTidy

ADTidy, developed by Cjwdev, has recently released its latest version, 1.5. This free tool is ideal for helping IT administrators clean up their Active Directory domain by identifying unused user and computer accounts. Users can easily download ADTidy with a small file size of just 3.9 MB. This utility supports multiple operating systems, including Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

The application file name, ADTidy.exe, indicates that it caters to those looking for efficient Network Tools under the Internet & Network category. ADTidy offers features such as searching for user or computer accounts across the entire domain or selecting a specific Organizational Unit (OU), specifying alternate credentials for domain connection, and gathering account last logon information from all Domain Controllers (DCs) or selected ones. The ability to optionally find accounts that have not logged on for a specified number of days proves instrumental for administrators looking to streamline their Active Directory.

One of the highlights is the ping function to determine if any computer accounts found are still active, and users can also elegantly handle disabled accounts by excluding or including them or only finding those that are disabled. Excluding specific account names from the search results adds an extra layer of customization.

Other versions of this program, such as 1.5, 1.4, and 1.3, have retained the core functionality yet improved upon it with each update. The free download ensures that even smaller businesses can benefit from its robust feature set without financial constraints.

Pros:

• Free to use.
• Compact file size for quick installation.
• Comprehensive domain search options.
• Ability to specify alternate credentials.
• Detailed account last logon information.
• Customizable search to include/exclude disabled accounts.
• Works on a wide range of Windows operating systems.
