Orphaned SIDs

2012-02-21 Thread Christopher Bodnar
Is anyone cleanup up orphaned SID's they find in local groups on servers? I'm grabbing this information with SCCM and never really looked into it. I have a script that will clean this up, but was wondering what others are doing. Thanks Christopher Bodnar Enterprise Achitect I, Corporate
