How to keep non-uniqname AD accounts active

Body

Summary

ITS has implemented lifecycle management of non-uniqname accounts (privileged ("1" and "2") accounts, service accounts etc). The lifecycle time frames are listed below:

  • Accounts not used within a 90 day window are disabled.
  • Accounts not used within a 120 day window are deleted and a ticket must be submitted to ITS to recover them.
  • Accounts which have not been used within 300 days are purged. Accounts must be recreated.

Environment

All non-uniqname accounts in Active Directory (AD).

Directions 

To keep non-uniqname AD accounts active, they must record domain based usage every 90 days. This activity can be accomplished by:

  1. Logging into a domain-joined Windows workstation or server.
  2. Logging into Passwordstate.
  3. Completing other domain authentication triggering activities.

Note: Privileged accounts may have access to systems that will not trigger a domain authentication upon login. Perform steps 1 or 2 above at least once every 90 days if you are unsure if authentication requirements have been met.
