Back in the days with CalFed Bank we had an automated process. Using the VM:Secure records *LL= and *LA= it would check for unused over 45 days. If unused it would be put on hold for 30 days. Finally, it would be activated during a full backup (because somebody always comes looking after it has been deleted) and then deleted.
Userids were grouped under different managers to prevent seldom used, but necessary userids (like the Product ids) from being deleted, or ids that got autologged at IPL and left up all the time. I think I used SVMMGR for service machines, USRMGR for userids, may have been others. The process only checked ids managed by USRMGR.

I have cleaned out over 12000 userids, some having been dormant for many years. I want to implement an automated system of suspending unused ids and subsequently deleting them. Is there anything resembling an industry standard for removal of dormant ids from a directory? What guidelines do others follow? TIA, Richard
