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 utility that does all of the hard part for you, and can display in a DHTML table that is easily sortable

Initially I did all the website design myself, hand crafting the HTML myself. I even had one of those *Designed by Notepad* buttons. I still have one of the custom drop cap letters I made. Yea, it's really hard to see, because it's White text.  My first website, like most all bad websites of the early 2000, was black theme.  I ran the website off my computer in my room. I quickly tired of this, and moved onto a Blog software platform.  You used an actual program program, (I don't remember it's name) and you would type up your entry, then upload it to the website.  That tired quickly, as the software was at home, and most entries, then as now, revolved around work. Then I discovered FreeGuppy .  It was online CMS platform, and it was nearly perfect, for almost five years.I even developed some pl...
