Is there an easy way to delete old computer name from ADUC?Hi all,
We replaced all workstations with new computers. I can see all old computers name are still in ADUC. Is there an easy way to delete old computer name from ADUC? (win2K3 R2 envir.) Thank you. Are you having an issue whereby use of "right-click delete"
on the object is not viewed as a good solution for this?

You can use dsquery command to find inactive computers and then delete them with dsrm. dsquery computer domainroot -inactive NumberOfWeeks | dsrm -noprompt Please, check Technet first: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/46ba1426-43fd-4985-b429-cd53d3046f011033.mspx?mfr=true HTH Toni Show quoteHide quote "John" <J***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:60415481-193B-4BC2-951A-E6422E6F9224@microsoft.com... > Hi all, > > We replaced all workstations with new computers.

Computer accounts are very similar to user accounts. They have a password. This password gets reset automatically every 30 days (unless you have changed the value). You can query workstations for their pwdLastSet attribute and if it is over 30 days you might assume the workstation is no longer on your network. DSRAZOR for Windows has a way to handle deletions automatically. You can apply this to user accounts as well. You could look at the last logon date of your users and if they have not logged on in say, 60 days for example, you could automatically disable, or delete those accounts. This is done by running a query in an applet and adding one of our AD:Modify services to the applet. You could schedule this applet to run every night and clean up your Active Directory while you sleep. No scripting required! Visual Click Software teaches customers how to easily customize applets using a drag n' drop type architecture. Not only that, we also offer a free service to simply create the custom solutions for you. Contact us for a free, one-on-one web demonstration of how easy using DSRAZOR can be for regular, automated cleanup. www.visualclick.com/?source=ADcleanup101806 Show quoteHide quote "John" <J***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:60415481-193B-4BC2-951A-E6422E6F9224@microsoft.com... > Hi all, > > We replaced all workstations with new computers.
