I am the administrator of a NT 4.0 Domain of about 3500 workstations. We have a product (BindView) to help with delegation of management of users and computers to local managers. This works great, however, if I look in Server Manager I notice that there are about 4000 computer accounts when we only have 3500 machines. This means that there are about 500 computer accounts that are no longer being used. What I am looking for is a way to tell which accounts those are so they can be removed. Maybe use a method that will display the last time a computer account has been used to logon to the Domain. Any help would be appreciated.

We have a logon script that keeps track of several things, one being the last time someone loged into the network, computer name, and what time it was. I was thinking that you could do the same and then write a script to delete the idle computer names in Server Manager. If you need more info on how to do this email me.

Hope this helps and have a Happy Holiday...
