How to Identify Abandoned or Inactive cPanel accounts? [EASY GUIDE]☑️
Today in this short tutorial you will learn about how to find cPanel accounts with primary domains that do not resolve to the cPanel & WHM server. A domain that resolves to another server’s IP address (or does not resolve at all) is one indicator of an abandoned account. So come let us watch this video on how to identify cPanel accounts with primary domains that do not resolve to your cPanel & WHM server:
Follow the steps to identify cPanel accounts with primary domains that do not resolve to the cPanel & WHM server:
Step::1 Login to PuTTy
Step::2 Copy the command given below to identify abandoned or inactive cPanel accounts.
for user in $(whmapi1 listaccts | awk '/user:/ {print $2}'); do domain=$(whmapi1 accountsummary user=$user | awk '/domain:/ {print $2}'); assignedip=$(whmapi1 accountsummary user=$user | awk '/ip:/ {print$2}') ; dnsip=$(dig +short $domain); dnsmx=$(dig MX +short $domain @8.8.8.8 | awk '{print $2}' | xargs dig +short); if [[ $dnsip != $assignedip ]]; then echo -n "$user:$domain - A - FAILS"; if [[ "$dnsmx" == "$assignedip" ]]; then echo -e " but MX for $user:$domain does point locally"; else echo ""; fi; fi ; doneIt will output a list of domains that do not resolve to their cPanel account’s assigned IP address.
Important Point to be considered– The command does not perform a DNS check on Addon Domains, Aliases, or Subdomains.
That’s it!!!
