Re: DSQuery in 2003 Please help

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Yes True. Can edit the xml file to pull data in the time that I want. But I
don't want to have to select all users in the query to disable the user or
users. I just want it to automataclly disable. Unless I am reading your
post incorrectly.

What I am reading from your post is create a query and export it to a xml.
Then change the number of days and import it back into Saved Queries. When
it finds a user that hasn't logged in for the numbers of days specified it
will show that user. then you would have to select all and right click to
disable.

This is what I am getting from your query.

Great Answers everyone This helps so much

I did try that oldcmp this works pretty well and I would be able to
schedule a job to run at night.
