ADMP Integration - How to automate unlocking of user accounts in Active Directory
This post described the use of a python script to automate unlocking of user accounts from request. This script can be configured under Request custom triggers and you will find more information about this here. Integrating ServiceDesk Plus with ADManager Plus allows technicians to perform Active Directory user management operations right from within their help desk console. This article explains how to set up automatic unlocking of AD user accounts using Custom Triggers.
Use Case: In most organizations, calls to the help desk from users who get locked out of their accounts for various reasons, are quite common. This is a time-consuming task for technicians who need to manually unlock the user accounts one by one. The custom trigger feature solves this problem by automatically unlocking the user accounts in Active Directory every time a ticket is approved for the same.
