So, can you see why it is important to keep track of all account deletions in your Active Directory? In this article, I’m going to show you the steps you need to take to track user and computer account deletions in your IT infrastructure. Usually, old user and computer accounts have to be deleted in order to clean up Active Directory and eliminate potential security threats, but occasionally a functional user/computer account can get deleted, which can obstruct the normal functionality of the IT environment. Similarly, if a computer account is deleted, that particular computer may not be able to use the server programs. If a user account is deleted, it means that that particular user is barred from accessing data, services, systems and network resources.
