Active Directory - Disabled Users

[zaineyma]

Hello,

I have been asked by my manager to go through Active Directory and make a list of ALL disabled users. This is a big task as we are on 2 seperate OUS with alot of Sub OUS and hundreds of users.
Is there any way for me to expedite this process? perhaps a query? If so please advise

Many thanks in advance.

VBScript is a simple text document with the extension VBS. To run it, you simply put the file on your workstation or server (DC?) and run it from there.

Check out the VBScript forum where there may be more help available: forum329

Also check out thread329-1389108 where this is addressed

I opened notepad, pasted the details of a script which will search AD for disabled accounts, saved it as a .vbs file, then tried to insert it into AD, comes up with error 'The selected file does not contain a valid query definition'

Any help!!

Use this, its much easier:

Put it on the AD server and use the following syntax with it:

C:\temp>oldcmp -report -age 0 -onlydisabled -users

This will generate an html report of all disabled user accounts in AD.

This utility can be used for many things, do an oldcmp /? for a list of all the options.

What do you mean by

then tried to insert it into AD

?

Just save the script to a text file. Give it a VBS extension. Put it on your DC on the desktop or other folder and just double click it.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark
