inactive computer accounts in AD

[StevieM]

Is there a simple way to find/list computer accounts in the AD that are no longer in use, eg they have not connected or logged in for 6 months?

I can find no reference to this type of info in the computer properties.

Thanks

Have you tried using "dsquery" command line administrative tool?

Please visit the following URL for details on this:

You can run this tool only on Windows XP or Windows Server 2003.

Exactly what I needed, thanks.

I use DSAdd and DSMod all the time, never even thought of DSQuery
