How to Find Inactive Accounts

Use case: Use this procedure to identify inactive user and computer accounts in your on-premises Active Directory. EasyEntra makes this task simple with flexible search queries based on the LastLogonTimeStamp attribute, allowing you to quickly locate accounts that haven’t been used for a specified period.

To find inactive accounts, follow these steps:

  • Select On-Premises AD.
  • Enter a query in the search bar that filters on the LastLogonTimeStamp attribute, for example:
    (lastlogontimestamp<2024-01-01)

The LastLogonTimeStamp attribute is ideal for locating inactive accounts because it is replicated between domain controllers.

EasyEntra supports using the date format “yyyy-MM-dd” instead of native FileTimestamp (Long) values, making searches fast and intuitive.

Search results update automatically as you type, allowing you to test and refine search scopes easily.
