SUMMARY
ADClean.exe is a command-line tool that helps you find and merge duplicate accounts. By default, ADClean is installed in the SystemRoot\Program Files\Exchsrvr\Bin folder.



MORE INFORMATION
Use the following options with the adclean.exe command to help you search for and merge duplicate accounts in Active Directory:

/? Displays the available command-line options.

/S Searches for duplicate accounts, and saves them as a list of merge operations in a MergeFileName.csv file in your working folder.

/X Use with the /S option if you want to extend the search for duplicate accounts to include objects that have been created by the Active Directory Connector (ADC), mail connectors (for example, Microsoft Mail Connector), and other tools.

/C Use with the /S option to specify the containers that you want to search for duplicate accounts. The result of this search is a Merge.csv file that contains a list of merge operations found when searching the containers designated in the Container.csv file that you created. This Merge.csv file is saved in your working folder.

/M Performs the merge operations listed in the MergeFileName.csv file in the working folder.

/O Use with the /M option to merge duplicate accounts based on a MergeFileName.csv file that you specify.

/L Changes the location of the Active Directory Account Cleanup log file.
