Hi,
I'm looking to find these AD related attibutes within Power BI desktop:
User
ms-DS-User-Account-Disabled https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677836(v=vs.85).aspx ms-DS-User-Dont-Expire-Password https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677837(v=vs.85).aspx ms-DS-User-Password-Not-Required https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678643(v=vs.85).aspx ms-DS-User-Password-Expired https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677838(v=vs.85).aspx ms-DS-User-Account-Disabled https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms677836(v=vs.85).aspx ms-DS-User-Account-Auto-Locked https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms678641(v=vs.85).aspx
Computer
status - Disabled or Enabled.
Can you please let me know how to identify these attributes?

Hi tpoljak,
Based on your description, you want to query properties of Active Directory objects(users and computers) from Power BI Desktop.
You can connect to Active Directory from Power BI Desktop following the instructions in this blog, load user table and computer table into Desktop.
As per this similar blog and similar thread, user account status and computer status are controlled by the userAccountControl attribute, you should be able to expand userAccountControl column from user table and computer table in Power BI Desktop, then check the values.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang
