Enable Computers

EmpowerID allows you to manage the computer objects in your connected directories. This topic demonstrates how to enable disabled computer accounts.

The EmpowerID workflow used to disable computer accounts is the EnableComputer workflow. To run the workflow, users need to have the Initiator Access Level for it.
