Tools to clean up NT domain? |
|
|
I'm planning a single domain upgrade from NT 4 to 2003 involving bringing in
a fresh BDC and then promoting it to a PDC, upgrading to 2003 and then
installing AD.
My question is on cleaning up as much as I can in the existing NT domain
before I bring in this fresh BDC.
I need to identify old accounts, service accounts, unused groups etc. Are
there tools to people use? The Windows 2003 Server deployment kit comes with
scripts which reference ADMT. But as far as I can see, I won't need ADMT.

Hello Sean,
I am afraid there is no such a tool provided by Microsoft to achieve your
goal because the information is not recorded in NT 4.0 domain. However,
you can do it after upgrade to Windows Server 2003 and then use the Dsquery
is a command-line tool that ships with Windows Server 2003 after upgrade.
For example, several months later since you upgrade to Windows Server 2003,
you can run the Dsquery command with the following parameter to query some
certain accounts that have been inactive for at least the specified number
of weeks.
-inactive NumberOfWeeks
For more information about the Dsquery command, please refer to the
following article:

Hope it helps.
