LED Solar Lights

 These: https://amzn.to/3FoGFQQ which I have mounted in my 20x20 dog pen. They light the whole thing up brightly, and I've tested them after about 11 hours and they were still bright. I also have these on my fence lining my driveway. https://amzn.to/3tskRRQ

Find Stale computer accounts in Active Directory

So it's inevitable that if you run Active Directory long enough, you will have "stale" accounts. Stale accounts are accounts that no-one is using anymore, be it because the user is no-longer employed, it was a shared account that no-one uses anymore, or people just forgot the account is there. Yes, Yes, you should have good practices in place to prevent this kind of account stagnation, but it happens. The easiest way to find accounts is to use DSQuery: dsquery user domainroot -name * -inactive 18 Which will display the distinguished names of all users in only the current domain who have been inactive for 120 days (17+ weeks rounded to 18 weeks) or more. But what about computer accounts? dsquery computer -inactive 8 -limit 0 Searches for computers that have been inactive (stale) for the number of weeks that you specify (in this case 8 weeks) and displays all entries (Default is 100) But what if you want pretty output ? Joeware has a nice little utilit...
