Lepide Active Directory Cleaner, a boon to enhance IT Security


Inactive user and computer accounts are considered as threats for IT security of an organization. These obsolete AD accounts can be easily used by hackers or uninvited users to access the organization’s network. Once their access is auto-authorized through the backdoor of an inactive user account, the hacker can steal the precious data stored on the server and/or will have the ability to crash down the Windows Server resulting in downtimes or permanent operation failure.

To be on the safe side, it is advised to track and disable or remove the inactive user and computer accounts. However, the Administrator will face a big challenge to do so in a large organization having thousands of users. It will be quite complicated to find out which user or computer account is inactive in a pool of thousand users.

WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided.

Notepad++ convert multiple lines to a single line and vice versa

Notepad++ can process the contents of the file using regex. Example if the data has multiple rows or lines, and what is needed is to convert the whole lines of data into a single line.

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur.
