# Unlock AD Account activity

# Unlock AD Account activity {#ariaid-title1}

The Unlock AD Account activity unlocks a locked Active Directory user account.
You can use the [Is AD Account Locked activity](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/8QNj~6729rr_dZcs1wZ_BQ "The Is AD Account Locked activity determines whether an Active Directory user account is locked.") activity to
determine if an account is locked.  
To access this activity in the Workflow Editor, select the Custom tab, and then navigate to Custom ActivitiesActive Directory.  
Hinweis:  
This activity replaces an AD activity by the same name available in prior releases. If you have a workflow that uses the deprecated activity, your workflow will continue to work normally after upgrading to Instanbul. However, all new workflows must use the custom version of this activity, which was built with the [PowerShell activity designer](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/MjnUEg~6RmXMwQSzlAKDTA "PowerShell activities are configured to return data to a workflow from a host using Microsoft PowerShell.").
