# Deprecated Cmdlets

This section contains information on Veeam Explorers PowerShell cmdlets that became deprecated in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.

## Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory

In this version, some cmdlets in the Veeam Explorer for Microsoft Active Directory PowerShell module became deprecated. This is related to the switch to cmdlets that use the *Veeam Explorers Recovery Service*. For more information, see [New and Updated Cmdlets](new_updated_cmdlets_13.1.md). The deprecated cmdlets still work, but they may be removed in a future version. Use the new cmdlets instead.
