RE: [ActiveDir] dsquery computer -inactive vs -stalepwd

[Jorge de Almeida Pinto]

-inactive NumberOfWeeks (number of weeks that a PC has not logged on to the domain) Searches for all computers that have been inactive (stale) for the specified number of weeks. -stalepwd NumberOfDays (number of days that a PC uses the same password) Searches for all computers that have not changed their password for the specified number of days.         is this any help? Regards, Jorge From: Rich Milburn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2004 15:55 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] dsquery computer -inactive vs -stalepwd Does anyone know what the difference is between inactive and stale password? I see there are a lot more computers listed with the command: dsquery computer –inactive 12 than I do if I run the following: dsquery computer –stalepwd 90 I get about 10 with inactive, but 176 with stalepwd.  I noticed this first because I used –inactive to clean up the directory initially, and then with Joe’s new tool I was surprised at how many must have “slipped through the cracks” – until I ran the one with –stalepwd which gives the same output as oldcmp.    Any ideas?   Rich   -------APPLEBEE'S INTERNATIONAL, INC.
