Activating an active directory user account using CMD (Command Prompt) SERVER 2012 R2

In my previous post we looked at disabling an active directory user account via CMD: http://todaysittips.blogspot.ca/2013/12/deactivating-active-directory-user.html.

Now we will be looking at reactivating the account we disabled.

Start by opening CMD and typing net user bchan /active:yes this will activate the account.

Once you have received "the command completed successfully" you can go to the AD UC wizard and refresh the users section to see that now the arrow pointing down has disappeared. Your account has been reactivated.

Enjoy.
