    Hi All,
    Kindly suggest a way out to disable incative user accounts in my
    domain. I have been given a task to automate disabling of domain user
    accouts not used past 4 weeks.
    Thanks

    Check joe's oldcmp tool which can be used also to search for user accounts:

    Also don't forget that the lastlogon flag is not replicated in pre SP1
    domain controllers.

    I had the same task and wrote a bit of vbscript to query all dc's in each
    domain for the "real" last logon date then I looked up the exchange last
    logon date and the ad creation date compared the lot and disabled any
    account that haven't logged in.

    Don't forget to exclude the service accounts and such. Also remember that
    the last logon only refuses to "interactive logons".

    Anyway my 0.02 worth.

    I don't mind helping you, yes I have done exactly that! I think I already
    told you all that LL.
    Anyway, I have a script that was written by a guy in Microsoft that I used
    as my starting point.
    It evaluates the inactive accounts and then DELETES them if you want. You
    could mod it to set the disabled flag if you wanted instead of deleting.
    Would that be useful? Do you want me to mail it to you ?

    I have Win2k3 servers with latest updates. i have no worry about that.

    Yes offcourse i will exclude service accounts and my external users
    from such list. i have some such clients too.

    But the thing is that how can i do this? Is there anyone who has
    succesfully automated the process of disabling inactive accounts.

    can any one help with that.

    Thanks
