Title: [ActiveDir] Cleaning up Stale entries in AD

No I am not talking about records in DNS (in that case, the scavenging option in DNS will handle that). What I am talking about specifically is automatically deleting computer and user accounts from active directly if they have not been used for about a period of 90 days.   The stale records are too many and it would be impossible to manually remove all this accounts   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 8:13 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cleaning up Stale entries in AD   Just to be sure what you are asking...   IMHO: * AD contains objects (users, groups, etc) * DNS zones contain records (A records, SRV records, etc)   Are you talking about users in AD or are you talking about records in DNS?   Can you be more specific? My feeling says you are talking about DNS records (host records), but I'm not sure   Cheers Jorge   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Oluwaseyi Owoeye Sent: Thu 9/29/2005 6:52 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Cleaning up Stale entries in AD Hello guys, I have an active directory domain that has about 4000 records. I noticed that because of the way the company operates (as in many people come into the company on short notices) we have a lot of stale and obsolete records in active directory and these number of this stale entries keep increasing. Is there a way where we records that have not being used for a particular period of time (say 60 days) can be automatically removed from active directory.
