Need to disable terminated users account before they cause damage...

[ei8ball]

OK, I'm surely not the only one here who has to deal with this. I have certain users that when they are let go we would like to be able to shutdown their access to the network completely remotely. In most cases they are already logged into the network and I assume their network credentioals are cached? Anyway I tested this on my bosses pc, with her consent of course...I just disabled her W2K account, but for some reason she was still able to access network resources. This might be due to the fact we have more the one server locally that can authenticate. So maybe we didn't give it enough time for the servers to sync?

I know a sure fire way to do this. I have cisco switches and using the cluster management software it came with I can remotely disable the port her pc uses, but this seems kinda primitive...anyway to get this to work faster in W2K?

Thanks in advance!



You were born an original. Don't die a copy!

once you disable their access and it replicates to all domain controllers that is all you should need to do.

You could remotely reboot their computer using the shutdown.exe from some of the SDK's... this would stop their access and they shouldn't be able to log back in.

Sorry... had SDK stuck in my head, I meant from the resource kits.
