Account lockout - inactivity

[Guest Starbuck]

The PHB wants me to lock user accounts after 90 days of inactivity.

 

Seems like it should be do-able, but I'm not having much luck with

google this morning, can some point me in the right direction?

 

Much appreciated.

You really want to disable old accounts rather than lock out. You can use

Joe Richards' free oldcmp utility for this:

 

http://www.joeware.net/freetools/tools/oldcmp/index.htm

 

Yes, it was originally written for computer accounts, but it works equally

well with user accounts. Check the usage notes. There is a -users switch and

a -disable switch. You can also delete the stale accounts. The tool will

report on what it would do before you run it for real.
