I have our internal auditor asking if we can keep disabled AD accounts

My kneejerk to me is to kill ‘em, but having them disabled in their own
OU (I kind of feel like they should be in a non-delegated OU too)
doesn’t give me that big of a heartache. Anyone care to share their opinion?

We have a special OU that disabled user accounts are moved to after the account holder terminates. The account is disabled and the expiration date set to the date the user terminated.The account stays there forever as we don't delete user accounts. The OU has limited access so only a small number of trusted admins are allowed to move users out of it. We also have Quest ChangeAuditor letting us know whenever a user account is enabled to ensure that it's a valid action.
