way.

I want to remove a DC off the current network without running DC PROMO (to

Can anyone point me at a resource for admin scripts that can allow me to
run a query against AD to find and output a list (preferably to Excel)
of users and computer accounts in our domain that haven't been accessed
in X weeks?

Does anyone know if there is a maximum number of computers you can add to a

hundred because of rand citrix server authentication.  Is int ...

I noticed that the security settings are not consistent within my
"users" OU.  Some inherit their settings from the parent and some
don't.  I know where to alter this setting (security Tab, Advaced), but
