Network Admin tool: Inactive Users Tracker

NetWrix Inactive Users Tracker

If you are a network administrator in a Windows shop and have any amount of turnaround in head-count, you know that keeping track of inactive accounts is one of your tasks.

NetWrix has a useful utility which can help you with this job - once installed on a PC or server, it can run a nightly (or other scheduled) report of which users haven't logged in for x amount of days and email you the report. You can also specify to have the utility disable accounts.

Now, this would be something that I would write a script for, but why re-invent the wheel? The tool does the job, and helps us figure out which accounts haven't been used in awhile.

Not bad!

NetWrix also features other freeware downloads.
