Have a load of computers on domain that are actually not physically here anymore, of course things have got out of hand and no-one seems to know which are not used and which are still in use. Is there a way to remove them automatically after a period of time?

You can run some of the tools yourself but take a look at
It is very well done and you can do the report/query easily before changing anything. I have used it in the past with no issues.

Yep go with oldcmp as linked to above. You can use a combination of dsquery and dsmod/dsrm but this can get messy and does not have the built in safeguards of oldcmp. With oldcmp you have to specify a yes really do this, yes I am really sure, Yes I am absolutely positive switch onto the command. :-D

If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions?
