Missing Computers

[Rick Kalifa]

To all,

Can anyone tell me the best way to keep computers that are no longer in the
domain, from showing up in AD? There are several computers that have been
"retired" and are no longer on the network but still show up in the Domain.
My initial approach was to see if there is a way to see when the last time a
computer was logged onto the network. Then I decided to post here.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Rick Kalifa.

dsquery computer -inactive nn
where nn is the number of weeks.
