Enabling/Disabling Domain Users Accounts or Resetting Domain User Passwords

Note: The enabling and disabling of domain logons, the resetting of domain passwords and the unlocking of domain accounts is only available if the Directory Services feature set is enabled.

When the Discovery > Users and Portal Access page is used to enable or disable a domain user account or reset a domain user's password, synchronization occurs immediately for only that domain user record. Detailed domain data is harvested for only that domain user.

• A disabled domain user will no longer be able to logon using the domain credential, nor be able to logon to the VSA using their domain credential.
• Password changes take effect the next time the domain user logs on, to both the domain and to the VSA using their domain credential.

Note: Enabling/disabling domain user accounts or resetting domain user passwords in Active Directory will not update the VSA until a read time synchronization occurs.

Note: Do not make changes to the password of a Discovery managed user or enable/disable that user using the System > Users page or System > Change Logon page. These changes only occur in the VSA and only have a temporary effect on that user. Eventually synchronization will reset the user's VSA password and enable/disable the VSA user as specified in Active Directory.
