Click to calculate UAC
User Account Value (UAC Value) is a numeric representation used in Microsoft Active Directory to define the status and properties of a user account.
Each user account in Active Directory has a value called UserAccountControl, which stores different account settings — such as whether the account is enabled, requires a password, or has specific login restrictions.
This value is calculated by combining several binary flags, where each flag represents a different feature or restriction.
For example:
512 means the account is enabled
514 means the account is disabled
66048 means the account requires a password and cannot change it
By decoding this value, administrators can easily understand the security and configuration state of a user account.
In other words, the UAC Value is a simple number that summarizes multiple account properties in Active Directory, helping system administrators manage users more efficiently and securely.
