Why are reports generated in ADManager Plus listing objects that no longer exist in Active Directory?
Issue description
ADManager Plus reports may display user accounts, computers, or other Active Directory objects that no longer exist. This affects the accuracy of report data and can hinder functions that rely on up-to-date AD information, such as compliance checks or account management.
Possible causes
Outdated data synchronization: ADManager Plus has not yet synced with AD, so it still contains records of deleted objects.
Missed synchronization schedule: The scheduled sync did not occur due to service interruptions or configuration issues.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, ensure you have:
Resolution
Step 1: Manually sync ADManager Plus with Active Directory
Log in to ADManager Plus.
Navigate to Directory/Application Settings > Active Directory.
Find the domain associated with the missing or outdated objects.
Click the refresh icon on the left end to initiate a manual synchronization.
Run the report again and check if the missing objects are now removed.
Step 2: Verify account permissions
Ensure the service account has read permissions for all objects and attributes in Active Directory.
The account should have appropriate permissions across all required domains and OUs.
