I believe that the domain needs to be in Windows server 2003 mode for this command to work.

I tried running this utility �dsquery computer domainroot -inactive 4� and received the following error message on our Windows 2003 Domain.

 

dsquery failed:The parameter is incorrect.:Windows could not run this query because you are connected to a domain that does not support this query.

type dsquery /? for help.

 

I did not find �help� to be that helpful in resolving the issue.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

S

Joe's utility works for Windows 2000.  I'm reading about it now.  I don't think there is a MS utility to do this for windows 2000 but you could wrtie a script to query for pwdLastSet .  I may have a copy of one but you probably be better off using Joe's tool.

In windows 2003 you can use "dsquery computer -inactive or -stalepwd". Here is a link to the syntax.

Is there a free MS utility that allows you to identify and cleanup old computer accounts within AD? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
