Active Directory, MSSP The Active Directory questions MSSPs should ask before cleanup begins COMMENTARY: Active Directory cleanup is not just about finding stale accounts or risky permissions. For MSSPs, the bigger issue is figuring out what those accounts, scripts, and exceptions actually do before anyone changes them.
